Towers Lord Baniff's Deceit follows the journey of a crew of adventurers as they travel to the Land of Towers to seek help for Lord Baniff, who has gone missing. Upon arrival, they meet the Mayor and are tasked with finding Lord Baniff in his Tower, only to have the entrance collapse behind them.
The gameplay is reminiscent of first-person real-time D&D games like the Eye of the Beholder series, although less complex. Players control one of four characters, learning spell incantations from scrolls by combining correct syllables. The game features 15 levels, a variety of monsters and items to discover, and cooperative play with another player using a link cable.
