Player vs Game World

Play involves guiding the brother and sister through the world, interacting with objects, talking to people and collecting useful items. You soon discover not all is as it seems. You explore the enchanted forest of a horned beast, start a rebellion in a goblin village, and help a team of frogs free a sword from a stone.

There's the usual point-and-click collection, inventory management and use of objects to progress through the world, but there are also more classic puzzles to solve. These grow from simple key-and-lock challenges to 30 fully-fledged mini-games. Play cards with goblins, build a dragon and teach a sheep how to fly.

The result is an Alice in Wonderland world to adventure in with hearty sibling rivalry and teamwork. It's a lovely story that engages players as much through interactions and characters as with cut scenes. Ideal to play with all the family on a Sunday afternoon.

Content rating

Rated PEGI 7 for Fear. Some scenes feature mildly scary moments, such as being chased by monsters and characters with red eyes. These may frighten younger players. The game is cartoon-like in nature and features infrequent cartoon-like violence towards human and fantasy characters. When characters are hit, there are unrealistic reactions, such as stars swirling around heads.
