The land of Kakhabad is a wilderness - a ruined desert, a tangled forest, cruel mountains and fissures, all guarded by seven fearsome serpents. But you must cross this land if you are to reach Mampang and the Crown of Kings. Rely on your wits or fight your way through - play with honour, or lie, cheat and steal - the choices are all yours.
From the creators of TIME's Game of the Year 2014, "80 Days", comes the third instalment in the acclaimed Steve Jackson's Sorcery! series. An interactive story told through thousands of choices, all of which are remembered, where no two adventures are the same.
Adapted and expanded from the million-selling gamebook series by legendary game designer Steve Jackson, co-founder of Lionhead Studios (with Peter Molyneux) and co-creator of Fighting Fantasy and Games Workshop (with Ian Livingstone).
Using inkle's unique inklewriter technology, the story is written in real-time, built around your choices and actions.

Editors’ Choice
This third installment of Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! series sends your bold adventurer into the wild wastes of the Baklands, inhabited by all manner of strange folk, menacing monsters and the dreaded Seven Serpents. An intoxicating mix of choose-your-own-adventure storytelling and fantasy gameplay, Sorcery! is an innovative digital adaptation of the beloved pen-and-paper adventure gamebooks of the ’80s, requiring clever thinking and cunning tactics.
Love the game, but could be better
I have loved the sorcery games and it was so much fun to play a continuous story like this, but...
Sorcery 3 is the worst out the the 4 games I don't feel it has much enforced plot I played through this whole map in about half an hour and then restarted it as I didn't understand why the serpents where important and there was no indication that I had to fight then it felt like they where trying to fill the gap between the sorcery 2 and 4 with something. I loved the time puzzles though amazing idea.
Mixed feelings
Technically this game is almost flawless, the implementation by Inkle is amazing, and it looks beautiful with solid sonics. However the game is very frustrating as you can suddenly die or lose important items for random reasons, meaning there’s no real skill in the gameplay. And you can trek around endlessly in the latter stages of the game. I enjoyed the books as a boy but the digital version exposes the central flaw in the genre. Average.
