Game Play: This is a point and click game converted to PC from the classic Amiga game. There are the Restart, Load Game and Save Game on the middle bar. The game manipulation is based on clicking one of the 3 verb icons at the middle bar and any item in the game play while facing it. The verbs are eye - look, hand - take and the hand with a tool - operate. When an item is taken and selected in inventory, a separate verb selections is shown. Look, drop, insert, consume and explore mode (to go back to main game play). Infinity walks one square tile at a time and runs when the right mouse is pressed (pant, pant!).
Before the WarThe Kingdom of Valhalla is currently ruled by the Great King Garamond, a natural leader, strong and fair-minded, who is cherished by the people of the land. Garamond is happily married and has a 2 year old son called the little Prince of Valhalla, who stands next in line for the throne as stated by Valhalla law. All was well within the kingdom, except for an apparent jealousy harbored by the Lord of Infinity, who is Garamond's younger brother. Infinity, confused and often misunderstood, always believed he should have been king instead of his brother. The Bishop of Valhalla approached King Garamond with rumors that Infinity was plotting to kill him. And that he had overheard Infinity chanting "You are not my brother, you are an obstacle to my destiny and so you will die". Garamond could not ignore this threat, which would have normally resulted in execution. But as Infinity is his own flesh and blood, he ordered Infinity to be imprisoned within the Servants Hall under the watchful eyes of his trusted sorcerer. So whilst Valhalla sleeps, Infinity begins his quest of hatred, in which murder is the ultimate goal.

Each one possessing his own puzzling story, which you must unravel if you are ever to escape. But there is one wizard who reigns still and it is he, which poses the greatest challenge. Can you overcome the obstacles, he has strewn in your path? First you must learn the secrets of his power and recreate his magic so you may turn it against him. Only the wizard, Greylim stands between you and your escape from imprisonment in the Servant's Hall.
