In the third book of the Telwynium universe we get more info on how the story progresses and boy does it progress! Quite some cool things happen, from reviving the dead to severing hands and reattaching them with magic to sneaky missions with fooling other folks in the fantasy universe, this is very cool. Also the main evil baddy Gildaar Solaire shows up again and impresses with his powers. I wish he had more time to exposition more of his evil plans, that would motivate me so much more to go after him, at least I think that is the main motive. I mean all those absolutely foreign sounding names always throw me out of my head, which is good as I'm thrown into the magical fantasy world, but still I am confused there and wondering who is who a lot. But that is probably easier when you play the games in a row and not once a year, lol. It is always nice to meet old friends again, like Otarr and the two headed chick(s). The graphics are nice pixelart and constant in their style throughout the Telwynium series, though not my favourite style of pixelart, it seems so busy and I always feel like missing some important items, though I usually progress without missing too much, so that is actually a plus. The graphics seem oldschool somehow but also not too much like old sierra games or so, but rather have their own unique style. I really love the magic spell and ray from Gildaar, I haven't notice much more special animations besides the walkcycles. The puzzles are well told and woven into the story and ooze a lot of creativity, really cool and progress the story. The epic menu, intro and end music are great, also some cool pieces in the game though at a lot of times there was just some clicking and clacking, that was irritating a bit, but when music plays it is very good. One thing I totally miss is an easy way to quit from the main menu, but that is a rather minor flaw, a great third episode with yet another cliffhanger at the end, I wonder how many times more we need to die and be revived to ever see a happy end?

Synopsis: The Telwynium: Book Three
- The Shadow of Spring -
This is the first part of the third book of The Telwynium Saga! Made in two weeks for Adventure Jam 2023. There's an in-game recap for those that haven't played the others. The second half of this book is planned for late 2023.
The Summer King walks! The fellowship from Willows Dene has been split asunder, each a prisoner in grave, tomb or cell. Each faces their own peril, with only their wits to guide them against merciless brigands, the living dead, shadowfell, and the witches of Targoth.
The Telwynium: Book Three is an early 90s style point and click, with Sierra SCI0 style graphics, but with a fancy new-fangled point 'n click interface. Made with PowerQuest!
