The Book of Three is an RPG based on the first book of the “Chronicles of
Prydain”, a series of books by Lloyd Alexander. It was made using the RPG
Maker 2000 tool.

The player takes on the role of Taran, who lives a quiet and, to him, boring
life as an Assistant Pig-Keeper in Caer Dallben. His task is to take care of
the oracular pig Hen Wen, but he dreams of excitement and adventure. When on
one day Hen Wen runs off, he chases after her into the woods, where he meets
Prince Gwydion, his idol and the mightiest war leader in Prydain. From him, he
learns that Prydain’s peace is threatened by Arawn and his war leader the
Horned King. And so begins his Journey, on which he meets many strange but
wonderful friends and has to face many dangers until he can finally rescue Hen
Wen.

Gameplay-wise, The Book of Three is a Japanese-style RPG. The player
controls a party consisting of up to four members, with each character
possessing a unique set of skills, and fights in turn-based random battles.
Apart from the main story, the game also features some simple puzzles and a
few side-quests.
