Game has few great features;

Each player can chose 1 character he will lead. Every character has his bio, statistics which have great impact on every situation player can encounter. There are 6 characters to chose. Each character has 5 stats (Cleverness, Wisdom, Diplomacy, Strength, Navigation)

During his travel, player can also use a lot of equipment to enhance abilities of his character. These tools are located on markets around the globe, but once they are obtained, they can give new options to a player.

Many of treasures can be sold. Currency is strong point of the game; walking on foot around globe is not good idea, so player can chose transport with Carriage, Caravan, Train or Ship. Those trips costs - and you can earn money sending your character to work in city.

Game uses two systems created by Jaroslaw Bilinski: TnE and Ocean, which - combined, give great feel and increase players control over his character and actions he takes in-game.

In some cities player can hire guide and mercenaries to protect him while hi travel to some location. But such party costs a lot of money –not every character in game is suitable to walk alone into desert without proper gear.

Basically, you chose what you like: be it exploring jungle or dig in Piramids, but be sure you have good stats for either, or at least tools and equipment!
