The Immortal is a game that took place in the "labyrinth of eternity", where the player's character (who is never named) is looking for his long lost master Mordamir. The game had several playing aspects to it; one of which was just basic exploring, as the player moved their wizard around from chamber to chamber in the dungeon, buying the occasional item from a merchant who appears a few times during the game, along with being given items from characters or finding them in various rooms, gathering information through dialog with other characters, and from dreams the wizard had when they slept on piles of straw that are scattered throughout the game.
