You are Geoffrey, a serf, and you bear an arguably uncanny likeness to the king of a neighboring kingdom. The king has locked you in his chambers and is gallivanting about town in your stead. He's returning in one hour, at which point you'll be thrown into the crocodile moat. Can you find your way out of the castle and out of the kingdom before his royal nastiness returns?
This is a parody of the King's Quest games of the '80s and '90s, and a throwback to early computer and video adventure games in general. Are you ready for your 8-bit journey?

This retro-style point-and-click game was a parody of games like King's Quest. The 8-bit look along with the old school feeling were spot on. One of the highlights of this game was all the puns which gave the team a few good laughs. One room for improvement would be to automate hints with text boxes as opposed to having a live game master read them out to you.
This experience is a great throwback to old 8-bit adventure games! We really enjoyed the humour and story elements and, while the puzzles weren’t overly challenging, we had a great time yelling directions at each other and dabbling in a spot of animated necromancy while looting an abandoned pirate ship. It was an interesting execution of an escape which I haven’t come across before, with each team member navigating the game map separately, but would I be interested in trying the format again as we did really enjoy ourselves.
