The goal of the game is to find the potion to cure the player's daughter of the illness diantrorithis. The game consists of a home town, and two dungeons: the caverns of Larn and the volcano. The potion is hidden inside the volcano, which is unfortunately populated by dragons and demons. To be able to fight the latter, the player has to gain experience and wealth by fighting through the caverns. The equipment to be found in the caverns allows the player to survive in the volcano. The gold that can be found enables the player to take some courses in school to increase the primary attributes.
