Description

In this game you are Rif, a young fox, who is falsely accused of stealing the magical orb of storms. This orb is capable of predicting when storms will arrive. Obviously this is important to farmers, but it is just as important to the boar tribe, for their supply of mud.

You'll have to find the Orb and the real thief, to clear your name, save your girlfriend and prevent war with the boar tribe. While your doing this you'll encounter a much larger mystery: What is the origin of the tribes? Legend has it that the humans gave the animals the power of thought and speech, and then vanished. Who were they and what happened to them?

Trivia

In the game, Tycho Northpaw claims to have a very bad sense of smell.

This is appropriate, because the character's namesake (the 16th century Dutch astronomer, Tycho Brahe) lost his nose in a duel with a fellow Dutch nobleman. It's said that Tycho Brahe walked around with a prosthetic nose made of silver.
