Eye of the Beholder is a classic first-person role-playing game in the spirit of old dungeon exploration adventures. Gather a party of heroes, descend into ancient catacombs, and make your way through dangerous corridors, secret doors, traps, and encounters with unusual creatures.
You will find a dark retro-adventure atmosphere, maze exploration, party management, equipment choices, magic, and real-time battles. Study your surroundings carefully, remember your route, search for hidden passages, collect useful items, and move deeper into the dungeon.
How to play
Create or choose a party of four heroes. A balanced group works best: one or two melee fighters, a priest for healing, and a mage. Later, two more companions can join your party.
Positioning is important in combat: only the two heroes in the front row can attack with melee weapons. Characters in the back row should use bows, darts, slings, staves, or spells. To swap two heroes, click the portrait or name of one character, then click another — they will exchange positions.
To attack, right-click the weapon icon; for magic, right-click the spellbook or spell icon. After an attack, the weapon or spell turns gray: wait a few seconds until it is ready again.
Spells must be memorized in the Camp menu first, then the party needs to rest for several hours.
The main survival tactic is to attack, step back or sideways, wait for recovery, and strike again. Watch the walls carefully: the game has many hidden buttons, teleporters, and secret doors. There is no built-in map.
