The fantasy adventure game based on the infamous CD-i titles of old is out now for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles alongside Steam.

About Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is a spiritual successor to a pair of infamous CD-i fantasy adventure titles released in 1993. Developed by Seedy Eye Software and both funded & published by Limited Run Games, it is an all-new platforming adventure where players must help Arzette save the Kingdom of Faramore from the evil demon king, Daimur. Featuring colorful animated cutscenes and an all-star cast of voice talent, including Jeffrey Rath, Bonniejean Wilbur, and other special guests, like Vinny from Vinesauce. It’s a quirky, fun homage to a more experimental time in gaming—but with smooth, modern gameplay that won’t make players pull out their hair (unless they opt for a retro challenge in its “Classic Mode”).
Physical editions of Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore are still available at limitedrungames.com until March 17th, 2024. Fans looking to pick up a physical copy or merch, including a replica CD-i controller for Switch/PC, can check out the collection today.
It’s time to party like it’s 1999 (or whenever CD-i games were “popular”) with Arzette! Whether you’re downloading it digitally today or waiting or the physical version, there’s a lot to love here. Stay tuned for more gaming news here on Miso!
