Description
This point-and-click adventure game is entirely hand-drawn with coloured pencils. Oh, and there's lots of dialogue. It will take you between one and two hours to finish the game.
Fans of adventure games will like the game a lot. It's an ode to magic, to an innocence we thought we'd lost and to a time when everything we did was filled with wonder. Open yourself and relax into this fairy-tale and realize that, what you thought was once lost, is but misplaced.
Of course, non-adventure game fans (if there are such ;) will most probably enjoy it too, so they should give it a try.
Start the game with no expectations. Relax, take it slow. Read all the dialogue. Solve the puzzles at your own pace. There's even a hint button within the game itself to help you if you're stuck.
And most of all - enjoy yourself!
The short story that I wrote to serve as the basis of the game can be found here:

The soundtrack for the game, in one zip file and glorious 320kbps quality, can be found here:

How to Play
It's played with the mouse. Use it to pick up and combine items, and talk to people.
Developer Updates
Ever since the ver. 1.2 update, people have been saying their savegames donโt work. Sorry! That is because of the difference between versions! All I can ask is, please re-start the game and click your way through to where you left off, without reading the dialogue.

"Potion of humor - makes you think you're funny, even if you're not"
"Potion for bad memories - makes you remember then makes you forget again"
"Potion of potions - makes you better at drinking potions"
So.... all you sell is booze?
Hah, never thought of it that way :D

One thing I noticed is that the map shows a lot of "somewheres," makes me wonder, WHERE do they lead? But great game over all, the story was really nice, and the drawing was awesome!
Somewhere, probably :) A land of dragons, maybe. Or the Ice Queen. The old man tells you some stories about the world...

I don't care if it's in pixels, I don't care if it's in animation, I don't even care if you give me it in crayon sketches and artworks, but if you can give me a good plot, I will give it my favorites and 5/5. That is all.
