However, to receive these extraordinary powers, the Sands themselves would have to be released… According to the legend, whosoever held this Dagger would be able to harness the awesome power of the Sands and gain control over the flow of Time. In a time long past, during the age of myth, the Sands spread their corruption across the world, until they were finally gathered and contained within a massive, impregnable Hourglass and sealed with an enchanted Dagger. These Sands, tied to the very fabric of Time itself, carried with them a dark and terrible power… for any living being touched by the Sands would be instantly transformed into a creature incapable of thought or feeling, a creature stranded between the living and the dead, driven only by the need to kill.

This means that the write-up required a fair amount of action summary, and I HATE action summary. This write-up was a bit more challenging than I expected, because there’s not a lot of backstory to the game, and a fair amount of it is presented in flash-back sequences and cut-scenes. This game is the first in one of those sub-series, a stand-alone trilogy known, unsurprisingly, as “The Sands of Time” trilogy.
