What Hexplore is

Hexplore is an adventure game developed by DokiDenki Studio and released in 1998. It was published by Infogrames. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Set in 1000 AD, the player explores the world as MacBride, the adventurer. Early in the game you are joined by three party members, an archer, a warrior and a sorcerer. The player must track down Garkham, the black magician, to free the main characters' companions that were taken prisoner. The game continues the story from there, and characters may leave or join the party (of a maximum of four members) in subsequent missions. Most of the characters are optional, which means the user may or may not recruit them for future quests.
