A new, enhanced edition of the classic graphics adventure crafted by Antonio Antiochia.

Let it be known that the Royal Court of Wallachia seeks a champion. His most Royal Highness, King John the Good, enjoins any and all wayfarers to aid the Kingdom in its search for Princess Sabrina, missing now for a fortnight.

Should you travel to the dark forests of Transylvania, be mindful of all that occurs, for you may encounter the Evil that holds Sabrina captive. Return the Princess, and the King, Himself, will honor you as his hero.

COMPREHEND Interactive Novels
Enter a whole new world inside your computer as you become the main character in a COMPREHEND interactive novel! Your computer describes where you are, objects at that location, and possible exits. You control the outcome of the story by typing in all actions, such as "Go North and climb the tree", or "Take the shovel and inspect it carefully". Your computer shows you the results of all actions. Explore and interact with the unknown world inside your computer to unravel the plot... but be careful, or your novel may have an undesirable ending!

COMPREHEND is the program that allows you to communicate with your computer using full sentences in plain English. The Graphics Magician program makes it possible to put hundreds of detailed illustrations into each novel. Together, they have created a brand new world inside your computer.
