Might and Magic Book One: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum is a singleplayer first-person RPG game in the Might and Magic series.
Many different versions of the game exist, with varying degrees of graphical fidelity and additional features, such as voice acting. The only version sold digitally is the MS-DOS release.
Because the game's speed is dependent on CPU cycles, the game runs too fast on many computers.

Notes
- ↑ File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_savesfolder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
