Plot

The premise of the game is that of mysterious murders taking place in various kingdoms prompting a covert investigation. The player takes on the role of Prince Maurean and sets off on a journey to discover the identity of the murderer and any ulterior motives he may have. The player must solve challenging puzzles, explore pyramids, battle mummies and rescue underwater mermaids as part of his quest.

Arevan’s appearance, feel, and gameplay are similar to RPGs like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Eternal Eden (overworld pictured at left). 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. This game is created by a collaboration of two female RPG enthusiasts. Their extensive PC gaming experience and input from veteran RPG players helped them to make the game equally appealing to players of all ages and gaming experience. The focus of the game development has been on a deep storyline with doses of humor and interesting gameplay featuring original artwork of the main characters, beautiful sound tracks, and a front-view- turn-based battle interface.
