This is a classic point&click-adventure playable free on any browser, which combines original photos of countryside from Germany's deep forests with the cartoon-like drawings by the artist Aurèle Mechler. In the course of the game you have to solve some puzzles, but there's no pressure of time. It seems to be a normal day at the court of your king. The old grey-bearded monarch has called you for taking part at the council of all knights of the Round Table, where you have to discuss about boring themes like the rebellion of some farmers in the outer regions of the king's empire or the threat of an aggressive force. With a yawn you start out, in forecast of never-ending, fruitless discussions with the king and your knightly colleagues. You step into the large ceremonial room with the heavy round table of oakwood in the middle of the room and find out, that the king is alone. "My dear", he greets you with warm words : "Fine, that you come here..." What he is now telling you in lots of decorated words, first sounds like a myth, even later you cant imagine, what mission you became.
You are calling the most important phrases back in your memory: "Deep in the south from here is a castle, that's very hidden and difficult to find... it includes a very old mystery, a valuable treasure: The LAPSIT EXCILLIS, a jewel, that has amazing power, it lengthens the life of everybody who has it and presents the owner with its rich gifts... i must have this stone, by hook or by crook! And this, my dear, is your mission: Find this place - the Castle Wildenburg - and bring me the valuable stone... King Anfortas currently owns this magic stone, schmooze him, take him by surprise, however you will get it, but bring me this stone!
As reward, I promise you my daughter and a place on the crown!" Without taking long time you leave the empire the next day, disguised as a simple vagabond. Use your old-school adventuring skills to find and examine items, talk with strangers, buy items with Taler (gold), anything you need to find the elusive castle and fetch the prize for your king. Keep an eye on your hunger and thirst levels, for you will die if they are ignored. |
