   One of the most intriguing and clever box art paintings ever created filled with symbolism and cross-cultural inspiration.

   First, our character seen from the *back*, hair covering their face. This allows you to assume the role of the character more directly.

   The colors and angles force your eyes to repeatedly look at the glowing ankh at the top of the staff. An Egyptian symbol? In a D&D-inspired adventure?

   Ankhs depict life, air, water. Look at the cover one more time.

     @amigalove I love the clouds forming an outstretched hand ... such a wonderful art and game.

     I explain it to folks as playing GTA except to win, you have to be a good person.
