Unlike the other AGI Sierra games which came first, this game does not have a typing interface, but rather a set of commands such as look, activate and use. This was in order to make the game easier to use as it was intended for a younger audience. Designed by Al Lowe, it was made shortly after the first King's Quest game, so it resembled that adventure in many ways. The game actually featured plot branches and multiple endings depending on many variables, such as whether Hen Wen the pig was saved, how the cauldron was destroyed and what reward was chosen afterwards. This use of multiple endings predated the more famous use in LucasArts' game Maniac Mansion by several years. A fan remake was made with AGS in 2004 by DreamMaster.
