You'll probably gather from this that "Apprentice" is not an easy game. And you'd be right. I didn't get that far into it and I must admit that I cheated: I had to have a search through the game files with the "Revenge" document displayer in order to find a clue of how to get out of the first location! After that it got easier, but not much. In atmosphere the game is similar to Infocom's "Spellbreaker", which is no bad thing and the game is about as difficult. Most of the puzzles are logical but you have to use trial and error, there are precious few clues. Descriptions are atmospheric although responses to wrong inputs are a bit spare. The NPCs are mobile and are engagingly quirky and surreal. In most situations you are given only a handful of moves before you die.
