Play Eye Of The Beholder Online

Eye of the Beholder is a fantasy role-playing game released for MS-DOS in 1991. Developed by Westwood Associates and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc., it is a first-person dungeon crawler based on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition rules. The game's narrative begins with a party of heroes being sent into the sewers beneath Waterdeep to investigate a sinister presence, only to become trapped and forced to delve deeper.

The player controls a party of four custom characters, with the option to recruit up to two non-player characters during the adventure. Progression involves navigating a multi-level dungeon filled with monsters, traps, and environmental puzzles. The core gameplay systems include real-time combat and spellcasting, managed through a point-and-click interface for actions like attacking and interacting with objects. Exploration is methodical, as players map out corridors, solve riddles, and manage inventory for items essential to overcoming obstacles.

Character advancement follows the AD&D rules, with players gaining experience from combat and discovering new magical abilities. The game is structured as a continuous exploration of interconnected levels, where solving puzzles often grants access to new areas or valuable equipment. A notable feature for its time was the ability to export a party of characters for use in the subsequent games in the series, allowing for a continuous campaign across multiple titles.
