Explore a whole new world in Avarice.  The brand new OS/2-only game developed by Continuous Software Systems and published by Stardock Systems, the people who developed Galactic Civilizations.

From libraries with real books to read to oranages you can actually peel and eat, Avarice brings virtual reality adventure games to a new level.  Your ultimate goal is to solve the mystery that is behind your opportunity of a lifetime.

Avarice was designed from scratch to leverage the power of OS/2.  It is of the same genre as games such as Myst, 7th Guest, etc. but unlike those games, Avarice supports true 24bit color, multiple resolutions (up to 1600x1200x24bit), and a powerful object model that allows players to truly interact with the world.

Get Avarice and go on the adventure of a lifetime!


It all started with a simple note.  Your mysterious uncle wanted you to visit his secluded island estate for the Żopportunity of a lifetime.® But when you arrive he s not there and the only other people on the island are guests who received the same note that you did and the estate staff.

Where is your uncle? Did something happen to him? Did the butler do it? Or was it one of the other guests? These are the questions you grapple with as you enter the estate, yet even as you try to find your uncle more sinister plots arise. New technology and old ideology converge and plunge you into events that extend way beyond the shores of O Hara Island.
