The Adventure of a Wolf Transformed into a Princess, and a Blind Prince

– Play as a wolf monster that can transform into a “princess”
– In order to heal the blind eyes of the prince, the wolf must guide him by the hand to the depths of the forest to reach the witch’s house
– Dangerous monsters and complex challenges await
– Use the “princess” and “wolf” forms properly, and head towards the witch alongside the prince
– Wolf’s strength lets you break normally unbreakable obstacles
– The “princess” can hold the prince’s hand and cooperate with him

Various Challenges

– You’ll find different obstacles in the forest
– These include obstacles that can only be broken by the wolf’s strength, switches that can only be pushed by the princess’ hands, and footholds that react to weight
– Large variety of mechanisms in the forest
– Use your wit and ability to transform to find your way past these challenges
– A foothold that goes high and low in response to the weight of what stands atop it—like a weight machine
– The light of the moon shines in through the clouds; untransform under the light and return to your original monster form

Requests for the Prince

– If the wolf is in “princess” form, it can asks “requests” of the prince as a mechanism for solving puzzles
– Two types of “requests”: “Hold (or Drop)” and “Walk”
– Use these to cooperate with the prince and move forward
– Only the prince is able is able to hold things
– When he is holding something, you can grab his hand to guide him, or request that he “Walk” and bring what he is holding to the target location
– If you find a fire lantern, you can burn obstacles and light up your surroundings
– The wolf (princess) is bad with fire, so only the prince can hold it

The Strange Creatures You Will Meet in the Forest

– Forest has many man-eating monsters
– Proceed with caution in order for the prince and princess to avoid being attacked
– At the very beginning of the forest, you’ll meet a small creature with tufty fur; it moves by crawling on the ground
– A frog-like creature lives where many mushrooms grow in the forest; it jumps up and down while moving
– Bird-like creatures exist in the caves; they are always airborne, and may attack from overhead

Flowers and the Prince, and the Witch’s Tale

– Small flower gardens show up in the forest
– If you give one of the flowers blooming there to the prince as a present, the prince will gradually tell you of the “Witch Fairy Tale” passed down to him in his kingdom
– This is an optional collection element of the game
– If you gather all the flowers, the forest witch’s past will become clear… perhaps
– The witch’s story is added to the “Album” on the menu screen
– Can replay event scenes at any time from the Album
