Even though they're not directly related, this would be a good time to remind readers to play Goblins Quest 3 — a truly underrated classic.

Great stuff but one of those things you should open in a new tab.

A couple of the pages have some pretty heavy strobing. In case that's a concern.

Cute project, though.

It was nice to see evil gnome guy get what was coming to him.

I stopped at the second screen -- do you have to understand French for this to be worthwhile?

No, it's entirely pantomime. Just keep clicking the right arrow button to advance. Use the left arrow button to rewind a step.

Non.

I liked it a lot. It's only "interactive" in name. It's really a short animation done in Mac 1.0 style, 1 bit graphics, and the clicking is just about the timing of how the story unfolds. It's fun, but I wonder if the clicking is necessary at all, really.

MythMaker, I think it wouldn't be half as interesting without the clicking. I can't really articulate why, but something about the pacing.
