You are a rich and handsome prince on a quest to save and woo the most beautiful princess in the world. You must go up against a troublesome dragon on your way up to her tower and a perilous climb to her window, not to mention getting her out of that damn tower. Of course, other brave people have tried before you. Lesser lords and nobles and many peasants hoping to seek a way out of their poor lives have faced the challenge, but none have succeeded, and none have returned. Will you be able to save your beautiful love? Or will you meet the same fate as those who came before you?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The setting of this story is a tall tower, including both its interior and its immediate exterior. A dragon is coiled around its base, asleep. There is no door on the side, and the only entrance or exit in this tall structure is a window at the top with a balcony, upon which sits the beautiful princess. A pile of bones near the dragon\u2019s feet appears to be spooky decoration, but really provide the way up: when collected and stuck into deep holes in the side of the tower, they form a staircase upon which you can climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the tower is a picture of luxury. Though she cannot leave, this princess is clearly not wanting for comfort. The furniture is covered in the richest silks, and her table is piled high with delicacies. She is delighted that you have come to take her away, and agrees to come marry you in your palace, but says you must do three things for her before she is ready to leave: retrieve her golden comb that she lost years ago somewhere in the tower, weave her a wedding veil so that she won\u2019t be blinded by the sunlight she is so unaccustomed to on your journey home, and kill the witch in the basement, bringing her pinky bone as proof of her death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each task requires exploring the tower and solving a small puzzle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
