The Lost Spellmaker

Author:Neil James Brown
Genres:Fantasy
Romance
Released:1997
Review:

A small and excessively cute game concerning a dwarf town (that's Munchkin-style dwarfs, not Tolkienesque ones) where the people who create magic spells have been disappearing. You play a member of the town's Secret Service, assigned to the case. Has a female protagonist and in-game hints. Warning for homophobes: Features same-sex puppy love.

Rating: ****
