Companions of Xanth screenshots

Title screen

Introduction

Starting location. Your cozy room, near your computer...

Reading your girlfriend's... err... EX-girlfriend's letter

The name of the composer will change randomly every time you click on it. This is an answer I like!..

Don't forget to open your refrigerator and take everything you can see before leaving!..

Choosing a companion - a pointless feature, since you can actually only choose one

You see everything in black and white when you emerge in Xanth. Also, you've obviously picked a wrong companion

You can talk to your companion at any time for hints and amusing chatter

Consulting the Com-Pendium of Xanth

You can move through the game world using this map. Very handy when it comes to a particular maze later in the game...

Beautiful forest. You have nothing better to do but flatten a piece of paper

The dialogue is ridiculously, charmingly silly

Beautiful mountain pass. Animated thorns are rolling

Be ready for all kinds of weird things in this game. This is not a puzzle solution - just an example of interactivity

"Tee", get it? We are on a golf course!.. Okay, I think it's still kinda funny

A concise, yet precise description of Fairy Nuff

You'll need to follow this recipe to the letter

Wow, what a marvelous... desert area with a spring. Why, what were you thinking about?..

The barrows are atmospheric, but they are also a monotonous maze-like location

Full-screen cutscene with live actors! There is even some animation! There are very few of those, unfortunately

Uh-oh... It's Nada in her Naga shape. Whatever happens... don't look at her!..

The game is full of puns. They do get tiresome, but... it's good for learning English!

A troll is guarding a bridge - only this time, it's a SCIENTIST troll! Wow, what a bold stereotype-breaking!..

Hmm... if only there was a way to fill that well with water...

In order to escape from the troll, you'll have to solve his puzzles. It's either this one...

...or matches - or another puzzle, but come on, there isn't enough place for screenshots of everything

You are ready to duel the evil Com-Pewter in what is decidedly the game's most boring moment - finding answers in a book, and that ten times in a row!

Talking to an ogress! Hmm... interesting conversation

A nice little room with a disproportionally bright sock

Beautiful view. You'll have this ogre boy as a companion only for a very short while

Answer the guard's questions correctly to bypass him. This one is pretty good...

Interesting detail on those stairs... and I haven't found any gameplay use for it

You'll meet magical, beautiful creatures in this game...

...as well as talking animals. What can I say but "Yakity-yak"?..

Uh-oh... this is a dangerous moment... and an amusing puzzle to solve

Hey look, I have new companions!.. The cat is doing his animated thing to the right

A beautiful hand-drawn cutscene

More weird characters as we are nearing the game's end

We've completed much of the game by now - and there's still a new nice-looking area
