In this fantasy adventure, you play a wandering traveler passing through the kingdom of Serenia when you learn that Princess Priscilla has been kidnapped by the evil wizard Harlin and taken to his castle beyond the Great Mountains. King George has offered half his kingdom as a reward to anyone who can rescue her, inspiring you to take on the quest. Armed with only a few basic supplies, including water, bread, a knife, and a blanket, you must journey north across a dangerous desert filled with hazards and challenges. Along the way, you'll explore unfamiliar locations, solve puzzles, and overcome obstacles in your attempt to reach Harlin's fortress and save the princess. Originally created as a standalone adventure, the game is notable for serving as a prequel to what would later become Sierra's highly successful King's Quest series.
