Released in 1994 for the 3DO, Strahl is an interactive movie-style video game with full-motion video (FMV) technology. It features a point-and-click adventure gameplay style, where players make choices that affect the outcome of the story. Strahl is similar to other FMV games of the era, capitalizing on the use of live-action video to create an immersive narrative experience. The game is set in a fantastical world and focuses on a traditional quest storyline with the player taking the role of an unnamed hero on a mission to save the kingdom.
