## Description
_The Hermitage_ is a single player text adventure with graphics.
The player takes the role of Ambrose, a monk in the middle ages, who’s
peaceful and tranquil existence is shattered when the archbishop orders you to
go forth and kill a hermit who is believed to be a reincarnation of the devil.
With a head full of misgivings you start out on your quest when, for no
apparent reason, a great pain explodes inside your head and screaming you fall
to your knees and lose consciousness.
The game starts later that night when you awake on the roadside a short
distance from the monastery, it’s very quiet and you know that something is
very, very wrong. In the course of your journey you will save souls, encounter
scenarios that some reviews describe as being quite gory while battling
vampires, demons and ghosts.
