GCM: Please briefly describe for us world in which Arx Fatalis is set, and the role gamers will be assuming.

Julien: The world of Arx Fatalis is a fantasy world where the sun died. People have moved underground to escape the eternal winter that has started with the sun disappearance. As you progress through the game, you will discover that a dark cult is growing deep inside the Arx kingdom.

GCM: Where would you say Arx Fatalis falls on the scale between action-driven gameplay and story-driven gameplay?

Julien: We’ve done our best to make players experience a great variety of gameplay and I’d say Arx Fatalis features as much action gameplay as adventure/story-driven gameplay.
