The latest part of the series offers an ironic, black perspective on the classic battle between good and evil and lets players look behind the scenes of the underworld as they slip into the uncomfortable boots of absolute evil.
The dark return
After the triumphant victory over the forces of good in the last chapter, absolute evil doesn't mince its words (or the cave entrance) and returns with its loyal, ironic sidekick Thalya. The goal is clear: to build a dungeon that is as inviting as a walk through a forest of stinging nettles.
Every stone, every trap and every drop of green slime is meticulously placed to teach the invading heroes the meaning of fear. But be careful: the Heroes are defiant and have done their homework - they come with a plan. A bad one, but a plan nonetheless.
