Another World

The space traveler and rogue guardian Sheltem has left the world VARN, where he was pursued by the relentless Corak the Mysterious and a party of local adventurers helping him. The Gates to Another World eventually takes all of them to another world, known as CRON. There, a great turmoil is caused by Sheltem's actions, and the heroes must stop his madness, preventing him from casting the planet into its own sun.

The character classes return, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, while two new classes, Ninja and Barbarian, are added to the mix. Character selection includes humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and half-orcs, with several locations and items restricted to certain genders, alignments, or races. Non-playable characters can be hired to travel with the party and participate in battles.

The gameplay is more focused on quests than exploration, with various townspeople offering quests to the party. Time also plays a significant role, with some instances requiring travel to different time periods. Characters will age over time, affecting their statistics and eventually leading to death if not managed properly.
