Description

Torin is a young boy who lives in a little country house with his parents and with his dog-like friend Boogle. One day he returns home, only to find out his parents were imprisoned in a magical spell. He must now travel to distant lands to free his parents from the curse, and to discover the truth about his own origin.

The game is a humorous adventure with cartoon-style graphics, mostly aimed at younger players. Torin interacts with characters and objects in a point-and-click fashion, and can also use Boogle's special ability: to change shapes and to turn itself into useful objects.

Trivia

In the game the following conversation takes place:

Ms. Bitternut: "Well I hate the king and that wife of him" Son Bitternut: "Di?" Ms. Bitternut: "Yeah, that is what she should, die"

Less than 2 years after the release of this game Lady Di died in a car-accident. How scary!
