A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

When Verity has her soul stolen by a fairy, she must embark on a three-part quest. 

To enter the land of fairies and reclaim her soul she must follow Three Rules:

  • Be Small
  • Be Sparkly
  • Be Sarcastic

Full of magic, horrendous puns, and a surprising amount of dragon snot, this comedy adventure game is the opening chapter of a larger project.

Completed in two weeks for AdventureX Jam 2024

Accessibility ♿︎

We have made efforts to make this game playable by as many people as possible, and to achieve this, ensured the following:

  • Easy 2-button interfact (left and right mouse buttons)
  • Blind-friendly "Accessible mode", only partially playable: play with keyboard + text-to-speech. Check "known bugs" for more details about the limitations on this mode.
  • Subtitles and voice acting included for all dialogues (even for a doorbell-speaking character!)
  • No pixel hunting and no overlapping hotspots;


Controls 🎮

Important: Press K (once in the game) to enable the text-to-speech accessible mode. You can only play with your keyboard when in this mode.

  • K: Enable/Disable accessible keyboard + TTS mode;
  • Arrows: Move between elements; 
  • Enter (or left-click): select or interact; 
  • Backspace (or right-click): Look at;

Known Bugs: 

The accessible mode is not fully implemented nor fully playable. Known problems and tips to reduce them:

  • The audiodescriptions and the TTS adjustable speed could not be not implemented in time for the launch. There is no way to avoid this problem.
  • Ensure NVDA is enabled to avoid experiencing subtantial lag;
  • Press K whenever entering a new scene - a bug is disabling it every time we change one;
  • Minor spoiler: if you get stuck in the Lair, try disabling the accessible mode and left-clicking on the screen. There is a pop-up message saying "To-Do" you can only move from with the mouse.

Nice game. I enjoyed the no hold barred third wall breaking and item use. Great writing and voiceover.
