Enchanter is interactive fiction with teeth. As a text adventure, it relies entirely on imagination, yet it manages to feel richer than many graphical games of its era. You play as an apprentice magician, armed not with swords but with spells you must learn, remember, and use creatively. The writing is clever, occasionally mischievous, and often unforgiving. Forget a spell or misunderstand a description, and the game will happily let you fail without apology. The humor comes from its intelligence: puzzles are logical but never obvious, and solutions often make you groan in appreciation once discovered. It’s demanding, rewarding, and wonderfully confident in the player’s ability to think, read, and pay attention.
