The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate

Interplay's 1988 finale to the Bard's Tale trilogy, which sent the party across whole other dimensions.

Skara Brae lies in ruins, destroyed by the Mad God Tarjan. The last heroes of the realm must travel between strange worlds, gathering what they need to face Tarjan in his own domain.

The Bard's Tale Trilogy is a 2018 remaster of the first three games, not the original 1988 release.
