Despite this being an old-school hybrid RPG (it has classes, attributes, random encounters, combat, and random treasure placement) it has enough IF elements to reasonably qualify: fixed map, some object locations, puzzles, text-based interface and well-defined quest goals. It is also surprisingly engaging: the geography is complex, surprises and hidden extras are abundant, and the game is difficult enough but can accommodate very different styles of play. Yes, the coding is not very polished, some bugs can appear, the design may be frustrating; but I had a good time exploring this one, which counts for something.
