Cover blurb
"Long ago in a land ravaged by strife, an ancient race of mages crafted the ultimate weapon to destroy their enemies, and end all wars. They called it the Aryx Orthian, the Scourge Of Worlds.
Hidden safely for hundreds of years, the Scourge is now sought by a new swarm of darkness threatening to unleash its secrets. To save the world, three fearless heroes—Regdar the human warrior, Lidda the rogue halfling, and Mialee the elf wizard—must embark on a treacherous quest and choose between honor and evil, between life and death.
But the choice is not theirs. It is yours.
As the tale unfolds, you are presented with a series of dilemmas and must decide the best course of action. But beware, for each path is fraught with angels and wraiths, druid guardians, demonic beholders, and bloodthirsty orcs. With over 200 unique story combinations, this interactive computer-animated fantasy delivers a DVD experience like no other.
Four alternate outcome. Limitless adventure.
The fate of the world rests in your hands."
Description
In each scene, it allows the user a choice, and different endings or different paths to the same ending will be displayed depending upon that choice.
The Special Collector's Edition added two new possible endings, for a total of six, as well as many other featurettes, like concept art for monsters and characters, a trivia game, "Making of" video, a linear "movie version" where a viewer can watch the whole thing, the entire way through cinematically, without having to make the choices in the adventure.
The aproximate content time of the standard version is ±90 minutes. The Special Collectors Edition is ±138 inutes.
Publishing history

Some instances of the product will include "A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure" as part of the title because of a logo on the cover which reads that way. But the title registered with the ISBN does not include "A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure", nor "An Interactive DVD Adventure" which is also on the cover.
