Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is a new interactive animated adventure, where players must help Arzette save the Kingdom of Faramore from the evil demon king, Daimur. It is a spiritual successor to a pair of infamous fantasy adventure titles, being developed by Seedy Eye Software and both funded & published by Limited Run Games. The Kingdom of Faramore is beautifully realized by Rob Dunlavey, the artist behind the world map paintings from the games that inspired Arzette. Additionally, voiceover talent from the games that inspired Arzette will be featured in the game, including Jeffrey Rath and Bonniejean Wilbur.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Beyond it being a SOLID love letter to CDI games, its an excellent metroidvania. Fullfilling back tracking. Combat is just ok. But good enough to keep you playing and looking for the next power up. Would love to see another Arzette entry!
Really enjoyed this short and sweet platformer in the tradition of... well, we all know. Looking forward to a sequel!
pretty good game, but you can't bomb any dodongos
