What if the princesses from classic fairy tales never waited around for their princes to save them?  What if they took matters into their own hands?  

Based on the public domain stories from Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, and the Brothers Grimm, follow the Winter Princess as she sets out to gather her other storybook colleagues to take on her evil stepmother.  This game was built by a Dad for her 8-year old daughter.  Although it was designed as a gateway for other RPGs and similar games, there are still some challenging puzzles and battles for the older adventurer!

FEATURES
Many of the components of traditional RPGs have been stripped down and simplified for kids.  Combat numbers are small, not many status effects to deal with.  No fumbling through equipment as the best gear auto-equips.  No exp to grind but you do level up and learn more skills when you gather more party members.  

PROGRESSION
You can free-roam 75% of the world from the start and you can collect the princesses in any order you wish.   Some zones allow you to run past the bad guys without having to fight them, while other zones lock you in.

TREASURE
There are 16 treasure chests; some in plain sight, others well hidden. Each chest contains a specific item upgrade for a princess (one weapon, one dress, one head piece.  one accessory - per princess).

CONTROLS
Arrow keys to move
Enter or space bar to interact
Shift to run (disabled in some zones)
