The world of Forgotten Waters is silly and magical, with stories designed to encourage players to explore and laugh in delight as they interact with the world around them. It's a game in which every choice can leave a lasting impact on the story, and players will want turn over every rock just to see what they find. Forgotten Waters features five scenarios and a massive location book that provides players with tons of choices wherever they go.

Taverns and turncoats, merchants and magic… oh my! Enter the Hooting Owl tavern, where magicians and merchants make their moves, or the Black Cat tavern home of crooks and scheming sorcerers. As a fellow merchant, you will need to bend in, collect and trade magical objects to become the richest merchant in Kameloot. Watch out for turncoats, and traitors, there is no mercy in the taverns!

Years ago the forces of good and evil battled for the fate of the free world. It seemed as if the powers of the Darkness would prevail, until magical weapons imbued with the strength of light were crafted and handed to the last brave warriors, the Lightbringers. They fought back the enemy and won the war… for a time. Now the Darkness is spreading again. The drums of war are beating, and your fate lies underground… in the dark.

It has been 10 years since the Lightbringers defeated the Darkness and made the surface world safe. But while the Darkness might have been gone, it was not destroyed. In time, it has regained its power and gained even more allies. It has now launched dire attacks on the world. A new generation of Lightbringers must take up arms and fight against it. But not content to simply push it back, they want to defeat the Darkness once and for all. Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape puts players in the role of Lightbringers looking to defeat the Darkness in this fully-cooperative dungeon-crawl game. Each player will pick a mighty hero to control in their quest. The different classes each play differently, giving players new options and challenges each game. The different dungeon-crawling scenarios will test their mettle, forcing them to work together to overcome the enemy.
