SPELLBREAKER, the riveting conclusion to the ENCHANTER trilogy, explores the mysterious underpinnings of the Zorkian universe. A world founded on sorcery suddenly finds its magic failing, and only you, leader of the Circle of Enchanters, can uncover and destroy the cause of this paralyzing chaos.

The very core of your civilization is under siege, and only a perilous journey through the black foundation of magic itself will yield a chance for survival.

And although your triumph over this unknown Evil is uncertain, you must embark without hesitation and prove yourself the worthiest mage in the land.

Spellbreaker Review

SPELLBREAKER (NA / ⭐⭐⭐⭐) by David Lebling for Infocom brings the "Enchanter" trilogy to a close, completing the story that began with ENCHANTER and was further developed in SORCEROR. Infocom classifies this one as "Expert Level" interactive fiction, and they're not kidding. SPELLBREAKER contains the most complicated puzzles found in the "Enchanter" series, and we would advise you not to tackle this one until you've solved the first two. . . .

You are the enchanter. You are the wizard. You've grown from apprentice to master sorcerer to the leader of the Circle of Enchanters. After years of study, discipline, and hard work, you're at the peak of your magical powers. And now, all around you, the magic is failing. . . .

At last, we've gotten everything cleared up from the holidays (although Fred was practically broken-hearted at having to take down his garland). So just step on over to your favorite chair, and relax awhile before you embark on your quest to (once again) save the world, this time through the magical lands of Spellbreaker. . . .

The people are mad. Magic is failing all across the land, and a meeting at Borphee has been called. . . .

Spellbreaker Review

Calling all Infocom freaks ... Did you zip through Zork? Were you able to hurry through the Hitchhikers' Guide? Was Planetfall a mere problem-solving pitstop? Have I got a challenge for you! Spellbreaker, the third game in the Enchanter/Sorcerer Trilogy, has been released. And I found it to be the toughest, most frustrating Infocom game yet. . . .
