HDK 211 † The Mines of Malagus

by ARBADAX

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) Arbadax n'est pas un nom inconnu : il était un des quatre architectes de mondes paradoxaux dans le HDK Adventurers Magazine # 3. Avec The Mines of Malagus, il entre officiellement dans le royaume du label milanais et reproduit l'exploit sans aucune difficulté. Le choix du dungeon synth électronique, habité par des textures flirtant avec la synthwave, permet de sculpter un labyrinthe terne, suffoquant, sans folklore et sans chaleur ; mais les mélodies sont toutes hypnotiques. J'y suis, j'y reste. Favorite track: Flaming Skulls Floating in the Air.

about

O=={============>

In the 80s there was the boom of the so-called "gamebooks", interactive books usually of the fantasy genre, in which the reader was called to make choices and solve puzzles to reach the last page.

PROTEUS, a magazine released in the UK from 1984 to 1988, published a whole interactive adventure to play in each issue: they were naive dungeon explorations, treasure searches full of sense of bizarre, weird riddles and absurd monsters.

PROTEUS's adventures weren't masterpieces, but they were fun and damn difficult: there were often dozens of objects to necessarily find to complete the quest and defeat the final monster, and most of the time the decisive one was missing; furthermore, it was essential to draw maps ogf the dungeons in order not to get lost in the paragraphs, but these maps often... did not add up.

In short: a lot of fun for us kids of the analog era!

O=={============>

"You are an adventurer, travelling the land with your sword and shield, in search of challenges…"

"Mines of Malagus" is a classic dungeon-crawl adventure set in a dark dungeon. Can you complete old Nytrak's quest? Three fragments of a marble tombstone lie scattered within the mines. If you find them and bring them back to the surface, peace will reign once again in this remote village. But beware: deadly, nameless dangers lurk in the dark depths of the mines!

The incredible ARBADAX finally arrives in the HDK catalog with this original album of solemn and macabre dungeonsynth, blending '80s metal sensibilities with VHS soundtracks. An album not to be missed!
