About this game
You wake up in a daze in a small village and can't remember anything.
A penguin called Otto tells you that he found you during a snowstorm.
He was afraid that you wouldn't survive. You learn that many of the penguins are ill.
They tell you about the mysterious disease called freezing fever. You want to help the penguins make a healing potion to make the sick penguins healthy again. But to do this, you need 4 different herbs that grow on distant lands.
But where are these lands?
And how do you get there?
You find out that one of these herbs, called frost blossom, only grows here in the cold snowy landscape. But the penguins don't know exactly where it grows.
You set off in search of other settlements to find out if they know the place where the herb you need can be found.
And that's where your adventure begins ...
