How it begins

You've always wanted to work in a castle, but when you signed up to be a pageboy, you didn't realize that the work would be so dull. As you do every day, you're making your cleaning rounds, mopping all the bedroom floors until they shine brightly...

Notable features

• The game was written to appeal to a young audience new to interactive fiction. Because of that, the puzzles are very easy.
