You may now proceed to download the game by clicking here.įor those few of you who have encountered an odd problem with Windows not liking Desert Bridge (which is odd, considering it is a type of window itself) and causing the portal to scale improperly: the problem is caused by your DPI settings, which are not the standard 96. Should you persist in your complaints, I will send my arachnid army after you. If you complain anyway, I will be forced to assume that you cannot read, and should not be raising children. So, if you belong to that group of people (in the words of Donald Trefusis), “whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases and yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily about our ears” then please fuck off. And some of us even use words that are naughty (very rarely, but still). But not if they’re six, or can barely read.

It’s not an adult “game” either – many young people may enjoy this. Yes, both the house at Desert Bridge and its inhabitants are bright and colourful, and occasionally even funny, but that does not mean that they are meant for children. It’s actually not a game at all, of course, but a transdimensional portal to the Lands of Dream – but if you can’t grasp that, and would like to think of it as a game, then you have to understand that it’s not a “game” for children. Now, before you download the game, please read the following disclaimer from Bob the Spider: Some people have apparently said things about this portal:

#A tale in the desert free#
50 MB of free space on your hard drive.A lot fewer exclamation marks than this list!.Not a single annoying action sequence or minigame!.The only inventory system ever to feature the “gerbelize” option!.More content than you can shake a wet carrot at!.Red herrings! (Literal and metaphorical.).Or, if they’re more into feature lists, you could say something like this:

In reality, The Strange and Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge is a transdimensional portal – but if your friends don’t believe you, tell them it is something of an old-school adventure game, with wonderful hand-drawn graphics, beautiful music and a lot of humour.

Using this portal, YOU can now interact with the wondrous and colourful world of the house at Desert Bridge, and help Harold the Talking Picture Frame and his friends locate their master, Old Man Bill. When the inventor/magician known as Old Man Bill suddenly disappears from his house in the middle of the desert, his friends, companions and pets start worrying: what could have happened? To solve this sinister mystery, they call upon their old acquaintance, pretentious game designer Jonas Kyratzes, who builds a magical portal into the Lands of Dream.
