Heroine's Quest is an adventure / RPG hybrid. Like in many adventure games, you have a world
to save, and must use your wit, guile and inventory to puzzle your way through. Like in many
roleplaying games, you can customize your character with various classes and skills, and must
train yourself in combat to stand a chance against the fierce monsters in your way.
If this sounds familiar, it should: the game is designed in the spirit and atmosphere of
the classics, and strives to have the same high quality of art, music, and plot. With multiple
character classes and several solutions to many puzzles, the game will have excellent
replayability.

Welcome to the inhospitable Northland, where trolls and wolves stalk the night, and where you are
just one thin cloak away from turning into an icicle.
Rumor has it that Jotnar, the frost giants, are on the loose, and that Fenrir the Devourer stirs
in his sleep. Gossip says that eldritch Svartalf magic runs wild, and that trade caravans disappear.
People curse the incessant cold and eye each other warily, one hand on their trusty axe. And
Northlanders are not known for their even temper.
What the land needs is a Heroine, and she had better arrive now. Are you up to the task, or will
you die trying?
