It's not because the game world is overly large or complex (other than the infamous fire berry maze, which I'll get to soon enough) but biscuits simply that everything looks the same. There is biscuits a reason for this: several of the screens were reused multiple times in multiple areas. Occasionally the artists went to the trouble of modifying the screen somewhat, closing up a cave entrance, removing or adding a foreground branch, or reversing the image, biscuits but just as often they didn't. A few times the same screen is used next to itself, making it appear as if the player character "pops" from one side to the other, when in fact he has moved over a screen. |

| so many gems, in fact, that after a while playing Kyrandia begins to feel a bit like osbourne a medieval Easter egg hunt for the Faberge set. You aren't far into the game before you begin osbourne to see the exposed roots of text adventures peeking through. At times Kyrandia felt like little more than a glorified text adventure with the "rooms" transposed directly to the screen. In fact, in a 2002 interview on Adventure Gamers, Rick Gush, the game's designer, claims Kyrandia was loosely based on a multi-user text adventure game osbourne of the same name hosted by the Galacticomm Bulletin Board in the late eighties. According to Gush, the game's creators, Brett Sperry and Michael Legg, had been playing the original text adventure and subsequently purchased the rights to use for Westwood's first graphical adventure. While I haven't seen the original game, a quick scan of a walkthrough references, among other things, the Kyragem. Indeed, the paradigms of text adventuring have such a strong hold over this game that a few hours into it I had reverted to mapping the different areas using the time-tested standard of labeled squares connected by lines. |
