Cyan Worlds · 1993

Gameabout 6 hours

You read the last page of a strange book and find yourself on a dock, alone on a small island. In its library wait two more books, one red and one blue, each holding a trapped man. Sirrus and Achenar are brothers, and each blames the other for the burned library and their father Atrus's disappearance. Bring back the pages missing from their books, scattered across the island's linked Ages, and they'll tell you more.
