Sand moves as if it were the sea, swirling, undulating and roiling like enchanted Atlantic storms. In the majestic game Sword Of The Sea, which offers no audio dialogue and minimal readable text, it’s moving from the very beginning. A glowing blue whirlpool fills the screen and swirls hypnotically.
When the brown-cloaked, helmeted hero appears, a gleaming magic sword is in hand. Without explanation, that hero, the Wraith, transforms into a tiny drip of water, slowly dropping from a stalactite. Once the hero reaches land, the sword becomes a surfboard that zips along the sand as if on an endless wave. Immediately, you feel part of a deep adventure of the highest order.
