The story of Sleeping Beauty has long been my favourite of all fairytales, and I
decided that it offered potential for a quest adventure game.
My main interest in
making another game lay in creating atmospheric fantasy backgrounds, and I avoided
too many laborious character animations by employing a device that I have seen used
in Role Playing Games -
In my game players have to guide a bold Knight through the Thorny Maze surrounding The Sleeping Castle, and find a way into the castle to rescue the sleeping princess. There are, of course, hazards to avoid and challenges to overcome, though there are fewer of these than in some of my previous games.
For anyone struggling I have put together a User Guide with hints and solutions for all the puzzles, which you can download.
