The Land is a traditional CRPG in CGA/text mode with lore based around the Stephen R. Donaldson's "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" trilogy. I hadn't heard of it before playing this game. The game starts off without any introduction, after of course creating your character by choosing their name, stats, and a few other modifiers. You'll travel around with a very narrow field of view (our protagonist must be near-sighted) and talk with townsfolk who give you vague hints. While wandering outside, you'll be attacked by monsters. There is probably more to it than that, but that's as far as I got. See how far you can get!
