The Adventure Company Announces HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN: The Ugly Prince
Duckling
Hans Christian Andersen is famous worldwide for classic bedtime stories that disguise sophisticated moral teachings in the form of fairytales that will now come to life on your PC
Description
In Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Prince Duckling you take the role of the young Hans Christian Andersen who is to work his way forward as a poor teenager in Copenhagen in 1800s. In the beginning the young HCA meets a princess who is tired of her boring royal life and wants to get around in the world. Unfortunately, the wicked Mr. Schwartz, who plans to marry her and take power over Copenhagen, kidnaps her. Now the player needs to get the princess back home by solving puzzles and managing a number of action scenarios. All while you meet well-known fairytale characters such as Clumsy Hans and the Little Mermaid, but also new characters such as Mr. Schwartz and his troll helpers.
The objective is to create a game experience based on HCA’s own life story, which is spectacular and entertaining and which also has enough levels to appeal to the whole family. Precisely, as the fairytales by the master himself.
