CastleAbra

CastleAbra is a point-and-click adventure in which Nubbin Pureheart sets out to rescue Princess Myrna Loo from the magic castle of the lustful wizard Wizardo. Hoping to gain free access to the castle, Nubbin poses as an applicant for an apprenticeship while Wizardo works on his evil scheme. You explore trap-laden rooms, solve puzzles and mysteries, face monsters and try to reach the princess for a romantic date.

The castle and its characters

The castle contains over 80 rooms, well over 100 items and dozens of characters. Its colorful inhabitants include greaser squids, punk flies, goth ravens, drunken gnomes, heart-broken turtles and lonely pirates. You can make friends with or betray characters, and your choices affect your progress toward your goal.

Puzzles and side quests

Along the way, you solve the mysteries of ancient ruins, resolve an underwater love triangle, rescue a Unicorn or Harpy from a macho Latin bull, and unlock about a dozen doors. A side quest takes you to meet Wizardo’s flamboyant brother-in-law. The game also includes an original soundtrack with 13 tracks.
