These volumes are supposed to come out in couple of months each after the other. All of them have unique story with different locations, NPC characters, foes and weapons.

Nota Bene: Some users have experienced problems getting this game to run; we think it's associated with AMD machines with Radeon 9700 video cards. It's not a common problem, apparently, but we wanted to mention it. 1) If the demo runs for you, so should the full game. 2) If the full game doesn't work, we will refund your purchase. 3) If you do have problems getting it to run, please let us know at customerservice +at+ manifestogames +dot+ com--and please tell us whether you have an AMD or Intel machine, and what video card you have. The developer would like to track down the problem, too, but doesn't have enough data to figure it out yet. Thanks!
