In a world inspired by the rich lore of ‘The Dark Crystal’, you assume the role of a young Gelfling named Lirael, who discovers a hidden power that could tip the balance of magic between the Skeksis and the Gelflings. Your quest involves sneaking through the ethereal landscapes of Thra, negotiating alliances with Fraggles and mystics, and facing off against the malevolent Skeksis. Each decision influences the struggling Gelfling society, leading to multiple endings based on your choices, relationships, and the use of dark crystal shards to wield unique powers. Will you restore hope to Thra, or succumb to the encroaching darkness?
