6 itemsAbout the Game
A point-and-click adventure game, where you don't control the adventurer...
A brave knight strolls into a small medieval village on an epic quest, but that's not you. Move between the villagers, and choose to guide or distract the adventurer from their quest, with puzzles, comedy dialogue choices, and mysteries to uncover.
Explore the beautifully hand-drawn village, and discover the lives and plans of four varied characters in this short game with multiple endings. Through your dialogue choices, be a shopkeeper out for the best deal, a monk who's taken a vow of silence, or a miner who's had a bump on the head and not quite saying what he means. And finally there is the mysterious beastie...
With British humour, characters brought to life from live voice performances, and music performed on Celtic instruments.
A very short game, but with choices that lead to different paths and characters to explore. With full voice acting, colourful characters and hand-drawn animations, get pulled into the quest and choose who's side you take!
