The game's story is generally well-received, described as entertaining, quirky, and filled with humor, revolving around a wicked witch and her frog prince. While the narrative is engaging and complemented by rich artwork and enjoyable gameplay, some players noted issues with cutscene quality and a desire for more depth or additional stories. Overall, the storyline adds significant charm to the experience, despite some technical shortcomings.
“The artwork is cute and so is the storyline!”
“Great storyline, amazingly creative scenes and interactions, just far beyond the usual.”
“The story is fun, quirky, and full of surprises; I would recommend it for anybody who's played a vampire story or Discworld!”
“My only complaints are the FMV footage is fuzzy and stutters like an old PS1 game, and I wish it had one more story in it since they didn't make any more of these.”
“I just wish they had done the three princes' stories as the main game (with the witch's comeuppance as the ending) and then created a real story for the witch as a bonus game to balance and lengthen the overall game.”
“Be aware the cutscenes are broken on the Mac version - this affects the story, since you don't get to see the plot result of the puzzle work, but doesn't affect gameplay.”
