This is a little convoluted. First download the demo file. Then install the windows installer. Also instructions if you have the original game Arx Fatalis

Arx Fatalis - Arx Libertatis v1.0 Released
by Dhruin, 00:47
Arx Libertatis is cross-platform, open-source port of Arx Fatalis that has just reached v1.0:
Arx Libertatis 1.0 "Bloody Gobblers!" released (2012-04-19)
After over a year of work we are proud to announce the first release of Arx Libertatis. While some minor graphical glitches remain, the game is fully playable on both Windows and Linux as well as other platforms. There are packages available for Windows and Linux. On other systems you may still be able to run the game by compiling the source code yourself.
Besides porting the game to SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL and the amd64 architecture while maintaining native Direct X backends, we fixed some performance issues with newer operating systems, added more configuration options and improved the interface scaling for widescreen resolutions. See the wiki for the full changelog.
But that does not mean that the work on Arx Libertatis is done. There is still much code to clean and features to add. Contributions, small or large, are welcome: Feel free to fork the project on github or join us in #arxfatalis on the Freenode IRC network.
Thanks, michal!

Arx Fatalis features crafting, melee and ranged combat, as well as a unique casting system where the player draws runes in real time to effect the desired spell.
The Arx Libertatis source code is based on the publicly released Arx Fatalis sources and available under the GPL 3+ license. This does however not include the game data, so you need to obtain a copy of the original Arx Fatalis or it's demo to play Arx Libertatis.
Arx Libertatis is mainly developed on Windows and Linux, but has also been successfully run under Mac OS X and FreeBSD.
