Been a long time since I published an Oriclopedia video, so that one is a bit long but covers both Athanor 1 and 2, on the Oric as well as the Atari ST.

In addition to showing some of the gameplay, there's also some discussions on how the game was made, who made it, the origins of the creators, etc... as well as my own opinion regarding some of the design choices made in the game.

I hope it does not sound too critical, the issues I'm pointing out are not difficult to fix, and if that can help make Athanor 3 a better game, I think that's worth it!

No links for the solution, the easiest is to watch one of the "long plays" videos on youtube.
