The game is an adaptation of the second installment of the series of GameBook series "Sortilegio". The player must cross a fantasy city (viewed from the high-style map with its streets, neighborhoods and shops), addressing decisions and fighting and resorting to magic. This second episode is much more sophisticated than the first as structure, riddles and dynamics. The gameplay is captivating and well conceived. Unfortunately, the game "cheats"; Getting the best ending on the first try requires a really shameless fortune; Many random and unpredictable choices (for example, turn right instead of left at a crossroads) can make missing one of the magic verses needed to complete the episode optimally. It is true that the game at the end allows, with a spell style "Groundhog Day" (the film with Bill Murray), to try again a couple of times, but remains quite arbitrary. Too bad, because otherwise it would have been a little gem. If You do not mind retry the same game several times, then I recommend it strongly.
