This review is from: Zelenhgorm, Episode I: Land of the Blue Moon (CD-ROM)

In this first episode of the dazzling cinematic fantasy game, you will encounter the superstitious world of Zeleghgorm in the shape of Arrikk Vaheirr. Zelenhgorm - Land of the Blue Moon is the name of a continent on an alien world with wild nature, strange creatures, ancient cities and dark, mystical secrets. As theis epic story begins you, as Arrikk, awaken after having bizarre dreams and discovers that a gigantic ship has run aground in the bat that borders on your garden. From where does this strange ship come from?
To find the clues, you must seel answers from amoung your own people, who wish to have nothing to do with you. When you succeed, a magnificent adventure awaits you - the experience of the mystical continent of Zelenhgorm.

Zelenhgorm, Land of the Blue Moon, is a fantasy continent with earthlike qualities. Embedded in this civilization are superstition, folk-lore, magic and science.

You play Arrikk Vaheirr, a young man who lives in the fishing village of Senava. He invents strange machines in his garden. On the day a giant ship runs aground on the river bank near Arrikk's garden, the dormant lighthouse near his house begins to shine again too. Arrikk's quest is to discover the mysteries of the great ship and the truth behind his disturbing dreams.

The game is played in the first person but the scenery is full of activity of all the characters in the game going about their daily lives. Sometimes you may not be able to talk to an onscreen character but they will still react as Arrikk passes by. The view does switch to the 3rd person view when your character changes his locations or during some very special video sequences.

The cast consists of over 140 live actors. Some of them are known and famous for their parts in Star Wars movies. Using full-motion video the game has 360 degree panoramic views. All the actions in the game are controlled completely with a mouse, except when using the ESC key to pull up the main menu. Drop down menus will appear when your character is talking to the numerous other characters in the game. You can open and close the bottom screen inventory window by right-clicking and left-clicking, respectively. Objects in your inventory can also be combined and it is necessary for solving some of the game's numerous challenging puzzles.
