to the game's early use of a real-time persistent world, where time continues
to elapse, day-night cycles adjust the brightness of the screen to indicate the
time of day, and certain stores and non-player characters would only be
available at certain times of the day.

player character.
The game also features a fantasy story, full-colour 2D
overhead scrolling graphics, and role-playing video game elements.
