About Once Upon a Time: Abracadabra

Once Upon a Time: Abracadabra is an interactive storybook for children, a title in a series that includes a similar game called Baba Yaga. The narrative follows a young man who was delivered to the kingdom by a dragon as a child. When an evil wizard named Satanicus steals a valuable item from his parents, the protagonist sets out to recover it.

The gameplay is structured across seven chapters and alternates between three distinct modes. These include first-person point-and-click scenes for exploration and boss encounters, as well as a side-view perspective for navigating a forest, which involves actions like jumping and combat. Players can select from three difficulty levels, making the experience fair to challenging depending on choice. Upon completion, the game allows replay from one of four specific starting points.

Language support is provided in English, Spanish, German, Italian, and French.
