The hero had just begun to enjoy his victory in Tarna, when a spell zapped him into parts unknown, without a weapon, items, or even a source of light.
Shortly after finding his way out of the dark cave, the hero meets a mysterious woman named Katrina.
He traverses the swamps in the dark forest and finally reaches the town.
However, the town is also engulfed by a foreboding atmosphere, and the hero cannot allow himself to relax.
He must find out what is going on, why the town inhabitants are so hesitant and reluctant to help him, and what horrors are lurking outside of its walls.
Life has never been quite so dangerous for our hero.
He'll discover his quest soon enough - that is, if he lives.
Like the previous Quest For Glory titles, the game is a combination of puzzle-solving adventure and role-playing.
The player character can be a fighter, a thief, a magician, or a paladin.
Importing a character from a preceding installment of the series is also possible.
Once again the hero improves his skills by repeatedly using them (like throwing stones at a tree to improve the throwing ability, which might be needed to solve a puzzle).
Combat system in this installment has undergone a major change.
Battles are viewed from a side-scrolling perspective and are action-oriented.
The protagonist is able to move freely, jump, and execute attacks and defensive moves, similarly to fighting games.
The CD version of the game adds voice-overs to conversations as well as narrator's voice to text descriptions.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 1993.
