Cinders moacube (SakeVisual;moacube)2012Cinders is our fairytale-inspired visual novel, ditching the passive protagonist and banal morals of the original story in sake of a more serious approach.

Cinders is an atmospheric visual novel, illustrated by Gracjana Zielinska.

It’s a story of four women and what made them who they are, inspired by the classic fairytale of Cinderella. A story about balancing freedom and dreams with circumstance and harsh reality; about growing up and finding out the true meaning of independence. Distancing itself from the judgmental simplicity of the original, Cinders tries to explore the more complex nature of oppression, responsibility and innocence.

The game focuses on characters and their motivations, and is heavy on player choices and role-playing. With 120 decision points and over 300 options to choose from, Cinders allows you to shape the main character’s personality and the course of the story.

Learn more about the story and themes of Cinders.

Why it’s cool:
A serious take on a classic fairytale story.
Beautiful art by illustrator Gracjana Zielinska.
Tons of choices and several different endings.

Happily Ever After  Sofel1991This side-view action-adventure platformer with overworld (like Zelda II) was in the works to be released along with the Filmation movie of the same title. Intended to be an unofficial sequel to Disney's version of Snow White. Snow White and Prince Charming are getting married. But The Wicked Queen's brother wants revenge and kidnaps Prince Charming before he can say "I do". Snow White joins up the 7 Dwarfelles (cousins of the 7 Dwarfs), Muddy, Sunburn, Blossom, Marina, Critterina, Moonbeam, and Thunderella, to find and rescue Prince Charming.***Like the movie, the original title was [i]Snow White in the Land of Doom[/i]. But the titles were changed and the release of the film delayed when Disney sued Filmation for infringing on 'their' characters. The [i]Land of Doom[/i] title for the game was never used publicly though it was used for the movie. The movie was possible ready for its originally announced release date in 1990 but, obviously, was delayed. The next release date of 1991-07-25 (movie and NES game) failed to be meet as well. The movie was finally released 1993-05-28. The game could have easily been completed long before this time, but by then the NES market, plus the intended target of female children who play NES games, was not going to be making amounting to a minimal number of sales to justify the release. But by then, another company had started work on an Super Nintendo game based on the movie. The Super Nintendo version of [i]Happily Ever After[/i] merely a simple platformer. NESlabelimagesubject

Rumpelstiltskin's Labyrinth of the Lost TerraGlyph Interactive (Impressions)1996Rumpelstiltskin's Labyrinth of the Lost follows the original fairy tale, as you begin by meeting the miller's daughter, her father, the king, and other characters. The player can click around each scene, which are filled with characters, animals, and other surprises. In this short part Labyrinth of the Lost plays as an interactive story, and here and in some cut scenes later on it features Disney-like graphics and animations.

In the "Labyrinth" part, the title changes from an interactive story to an educational game. Once you (as the miller's daughter) meet Rumpelstiltskin, he will send you on a quest through the labyrinth each night. Your goal in the labyrinth is to find 3 golden orbs and bring them to the so-called "prize room." A cut-scene will follow that continues with the story. To find the orbs, you have to consult the so-called "Oracles" in the Labyrinth, and answer the questions that pop-up (about mythology, history etc.).

The player can choose between easy and hard mode, and turn on or off the questions in the labyrinth. The miller's daughter will sing a few songs during the game. There are no captions, and no options to change other settings.
