The Treasure of the Kavi. Step back in time, as you exercise your mind power and intuition. The production values in Jewels II are excellent. Richly realized QuickTime animations provide dreamy transitions from one room to another throughout the three story underground ruin. And the puzzles, constructed with Macromedia, combine convincingly ancient textures with compellingly creaky sound effects.
Music is appropriately evocative, providing the sense of a wondrous world long lost.
There is even a genial human guide in the form of veteran character actor Henry Ramer. For most adventure gamers, probably not. While I hesitate to suggest that a cloud hangs over Shakespeare, his luck in picking distribution partners so far has not been good. The original distributor of Jewels, Discis Entertainment, went bankrupt, leaving the production team with nothing but the cash advance they were given to develop the game. Jewels II uses Apple's QuickTime VR or Virtual Reality extension for its animations and backdrops.
