The Dink Network

Saben is apprentice to the Warlock Merlyn. Merlyn has made a great discovery, and calls Saben to his house. Later, things go awry and Saben ends up in a strange world by the name of Sigil - Fans of D&D and Torment will recognize this. The demo ends when you get to the Warrens of Filth. you can wander around part of them, but cannot do much, and cannot buy anything from the shopkeeper. I will probably make an expanded demo, taking you through the Warrens and into Sigil itself.

Storyline: You play Saben, and you have to help Merlyn get some dragon blood. After you have done that however, there are some more things to take care off.

Map and graphics: The map is not that big, but it is very nicely decorated and has lots of details. There are several new graphics, but most, if not all, are from LOT. Saben looks like Dink, but then in a different colour.

Music: The music suits the situation.

Good: The portal is done nicely. The story develops good, but since this is a demo, it also stops halfway. If you look at the map using the editor, you see a part that you can not go to: some blue rocks next to tiles, which look rather good.

Not so good: You can not pick up the blue potion. The statusbar screen looks al right, but it distracts your attention from the game. If Saben pushes something, the original graphics of Dink pushing something are shown. Some trees are not stamped correctly.

Overall: A nice demo. A shame this it is only a demo.

Fit for: If you want to have a small adventure.
