It is a DRM-free RPG for PC, catering to both the casual gamers and RPG veterans. Mysterious murders are taking place in various kingdoms. Solemaun, the king of Arevan, decides to start a covert investigation with other world rulers. By his order, Prince Maurean, his son, sets off on a journey to discover the identity of the murderer and any ulterior motives he may have. Travel with Maurean as he makes his way through challenging puzzles, gut-wrenching monsters, and intriguing side quests (Where is Harry Potter?). Join him and his adventuresome companions as they explore pyramids, battle mummies, rescue underwater mermaids and many other exciting events. There will be many shocking revelations for our hero until he is forced to face...the most bitter truth. Arevans appearance, feel, and gameplay are similar to RPGs like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Eternal Eden. It features mouse control, in-game help for new players, a unique skill pill system, the ability to skip difficult battles or puzzles, game altering choices and high quality 2D graphics.
