Stugan

You're on a jetty by a lake somewhere in Småland. In the distance you can see a red cottage. Around the house there are forests extending for miles and miles, waterfalls, and many strange characters. When you enter the cottage you discover that it's a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside. It's even got a lift!

You will explore the cottage and its surroundings. The computer is your eyes and hands. Inside the cottage anything can happen; you can fall down trapdoors, robbers can take all your valuables, escalators can be roped off and telephones can ring. Outside the house there are large forests to rove, waterfalls to shower in and mysterious creatures that appear when you least expect it...

You have to use all of your cunning to collect treasures and valuables and make it through the game with as many points as possible. Hours of interesting and intelligent entertainment are in store for you!

The above text is a direct translation of the blurb on the back of the game's box. "Stugan" was sold commercially, and quickly became one of the most widespread PC games in Sweden.

Following a request by software distributor SPCS, the authors ported the game Stuga from DEC to PC, and this is the result. In the process, they added some character graphics, music and a few items. They also removed a section of the original game containing puppets, for copyright reasons.

The freeware distributions of the game, which are available here, have been approved by the three authors, who retain copyright.
