About the Game

Drought has devastated the land, the fields are dry and barren, and Prince Rillon knows he can save the world. The problem, as he has discovered in his secret research, is that the Callers are asleep on the job. Whatever these mysterious beings are, the prince is confident that they will restore the weather to normalcy if only they are awakened. And to awaken them, all he has to do is touch the unicorn’s horn.

As soon as he can find the unicorn, that is. 

Enter Skybrighten, the forest Nim who has all the answers. The only problem is that Prince Rillon is a Townie, and Nims and Townies don’t get along very well. That, and the possibility that the Callers might not really be the right answer to the drought.

They might actually be worse.

Experience this interactive novel as Skybrighten and try to save the world! Drop in on the Townies in Kalth and introduce yourself to the prince and his friend. Travel to find the unicorn, accompanied by your large, very smart cat. Try to touch the unicorn's horn...and then see what happens.

Navigate your way through the large pixelated world in 2.5D, through barren fields and shady forests. Visit towns and taverns, explore mountains and oceans. Talk with characters and choose whether to be friendly or rude. Learn how to fix your mistakes, and end up saving the world after all.
