A narrative adventure game set in the world known from the novel The Wizard of Oz. Oz Adventures is divided into episodes, each set in a different era and featuring the adventures of different characters. The project was supervised by American McGee.
Oz Adventures is a narrative adventure game set in the land known from the novel The Wizard of Oz by Lyman Frank Baum. The project was supervised by American McGee - an American video game designer, who gained worldwide recognition with the games American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns. He also co-created such titles as Doom II: Hell on Earth, Quake or Hexen: Beyond Heretic.
The game was divided into episodes showing the adventures of various characters in different eras. Like the Alice in Wonderland adventures of American McGee, Oz has a darker tone than the source material would suggest. The designer himself was inspired by tales of mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, and turned the land into a place where people from different eras end up against their will.
Interestingly, the game is only a part of the transmedia whole and is connected to the series under the same title.
