This mid-length game is a story-focused Zorkian type game, where you explore the Beast's castle, trying to understand his history and take action.
The game features a magical system focused on (Spoiler - click to show)bells. Different bells have different properties, which you must decipher by experimentation and by searching records.
The game is a more cynical version of the fairy tale (or more world-weary).
This game is intended to be accesible to beginners, with a tutorial mode and ways to access hints. I found the game frustrating when I tried to treat it as an open, nonlinear game. When I did what the game told me to do, it was much more enjoyable.
