About the StorySet in the universe of Zork, this game starts off in a monastery. The evil Anabis fools Brother Joseph into releasing him from his prison. He shatters the Rod of the Ancients, and the only way to save the order is to retrieve all the pieces and even confront the Implementors themselves... Game Details

It's hard to discern what accounts for the enduring popularity of the games set in the Zork universe; that it was the first commercially available full-parser interactive fiction probably has something to do with it, but it's still remarkable that a game released in 1980 should still be inspiring sequels. For Daniel Yu's Spiritwrak is certainly a sequel--the magic system is suspiciously reminiscent of the Enchanter series, and the humor captures the Zork style. It's a well-crafted homage, sufficiently so that, if you liked the originals, you'll almost certainly enjoy this...

The puzzles are generally not hard -- very few are close to the mind-benders in Sorcerer and SpellBreaker -- but many of them, particularly the new ones added for Release 2, are quite clever, if a bit gratuitous. Release 2 also removes a couple of the less-than-intuitive puzzles and adds more zorkmids for increased flexibility in riding the Great Underground Subway. Nearly everything is satisfyingly logical, and there is plenty to do -- the game itself is vast, with a wide area open for exploration from the inception (though Yu does take a few liberties with Zork geography).
