Up ahead, you can just make out the outlines of a castle shrouded in mist. Even though you know better, you decide to take just a quick peek into one of the castle's heavy-leaded windows. As you step into the dark castle, the door slams shut behind you. The forest's evil wizard has lured another victim into his trap! Your only chance for survival is to escape the castle before the wizard turns you into a newt.
