A classic pixel JRPG. The djinn Sirocco has swallowed the rain, and the oasis of Zahra is turning to dust. Gather a party, cross the dunes, and take it back.

Anyone else get stuck at the salt flats? The trick is to talk to the merchant twice.
The password save is old school and I love it. Wrote mine on a sticky note like it was 1992.
Finally finished it. That last scene in the well made me put the controller down for a minute.
For a hundred days, no rain has fallen on the kingdom of Sahra. The wells give only mud, the dunes creep closer every night, and the old elder of Zahra dreams of a djinn as tall as a sandstorm, drinking the clouds.
Take up your scimitar, find the scholar who vanished into Scorpion Cave, and follow the trail of the stolen rain from the caravan market of Kesh to the tomb of a pharaoh who refuses to die.
