There are a handful of mazes, without any twists to redeem them. There is a tanagram that can be difficult, but you can ask for in-game hints if it proves too much.

Most are obvious run and fetch an item from elsewhere. Matching the simple story are simple puzzles. The gameplay is pleasant and interesting while it lasts, though it is quickly forgotten. The characters are given distinct, albeit simple, personalities, and most give you a little of their back story.

There is considerable amount of storytelling as you run back and forth dealing with various characters, but there is little depth to any of it. It is suitable for young gamers (such as children), at about the same tone as Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia or Sierra On-Line's King's Quest. To match the heavily pixelated, cartoon graphics, the story is simple and lighthearted. Of course, the animals themselves are also a big clue to their own natures, which is the basis of the funny animal genre. At each tribe you must interact with a few characters, getting a sense of the tribe's personality. Throughout both you must deal with tribes of rats and cats and others (but no olyphants). After visiting a few of the major tribes, you (as Rif) eventually head north into the Wild Lands. That is not quite enough, however, so a boar guard, Okk, and an elk guard, Eeah, are sent to both watch and help Rif.įinding the orb first involves trekking back and forth across the civilized, medieval known lands, the domain of the Forest King. Somehow, Rif manages to talk the authorities into letting him search for the orb, keeping his foxy girlfriend, Rhene, as bail. He is the suspect solely because he has just lost a big puzzle contest which he is expected to win and because he is a fox, a race that other Morphs do not trust. It has been stolen, and the prime suspect is Rif. A piece of such technology is the Orb of Storms, which can predict weather. Some human ruins, and even some working technology, remain.

Here, the animals are called Morphs, and legend has it that they are created by the long absent humans. The game hearkens back to the day of funny animals in fairy tales. The port was otherwise faithful to the source. The re-release also included a new digital audio score of the original music composed for the game.

In 2003, Wyrmkeep Entertainment acquired the rights to republish the game and updated it for Windows compatibility. Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb was an adventure game originally developed by The Dreamers Guild and released for DOS in 1994.
