Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Awesome Music: All of it, which is to be expected since every tune was lifted from Swan Lake.
  • Cult Classic: Never having been a smash hit, the game is still fondly remembered and maintains a devoted following even 20 years after its release.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Chaos.
    • The talkie version of Chaos is even better. It's all synthesized and creepy and "we are legion." Brr.
      • Bobbin's stock scream clip is even more horrifying.
    • Rusty Nailbender after he's killed by the dragon.
    • It might be a shorter list to describe the things that aren't scary has hell in this game.
  • It's Easy, So It Sucks: The game received some criticism for its short length and simple interface for being too easy. The Space Quest series mocks this by featuring a similarly titled game with no inventory, no interface, or any kind of interactivity at all.
  • What an Idiot!: The Glassmakers and their scythe of sharpness. They've spent a lot of effort preparing a super weapon that can be used by one person to defend against an army invading, so when Chaos is unleashed, which wants to rule the world and/or kill everything, and comes for the scythe. The Glassmakers decide the superweapon is so powerful that using it would make them as bad as Chaos, so they don't, and are killed. Apparently destroying the scythe is not even considered.
