What is Castle Explorer?

The king entrusts you to foil a ruthless baron’s plot to seize the crown. How? Study the diagrams of the baron’s castle to outsmart him with your knowledge of medieval times. Sound boring? What if there were a few 3D rooms with chatty characters to liven things up?

Sorry, excluding those individuals with a lust for medieval life, the game would bore even techno-peasants. Talking characters, when you finally find them, don’t start big fights over damsels in distress. Instead, they ask you odd questions about l4th Century Europe that you must research lest you blow your cover as a spy for the king. Yep, that’s it. No blood, just brains. Even the detailed drawings by famed artist Stephen Biesty lose their luster after hours of this tedious point-and-click exploration.
