The Fat Prince
"A young, handsome and ill-mannered prince has maltreated an old beggar that was asking for alms one night, only to find out that the beggar was a sorcerer who wanted to teach him a lesson. The sorcerer cursed him with an insatiable desire for food that made him so unattractively fat. The prince lost all his admirers, one by one.
To break this curse, he must go to the castle of the Southern Himalayan Tribe where he will face perilous obstructions and locate the princess, kiss her and make her the queen of his kingdom. Rumor has it that the said princess is extremely beautiful. She hasn’t made contact with anyone and is just waiting for his Prince Charming to save him. The castle is being guarded by a ferocious dragon in addition to the tricky traps inside. In order for the prince to reach the princess, he must not only be brave but also clever, to understand the clues that await. Upon reaching the princess, he finds out that the she is not as beautiful as how everyone portrays her to be: she is also fat and unbelievably and unimaginably ugly. Unknown to everyone including the prince, this princess has also been cursed by the same sorcerer because she has a very unpleasant personality and the only way to break this curse is for a prince to kiss her and make her his queen, forever. Now he is faced with a decision to save and kiss the princess, or not to – and stay fat for eternity."
The game is story-driven, wherein the player must portray the role of a prince. He has the objective of meeting the princess of the Southern Himalayan Tribe. Along his way, he will encounter puzzles to solve. If the player solves the puzzle, he will be able to proceed to the next part of the story and of the game. The player has the freedom to roam around, observe and interact with the environment and everyone and everything in it. The player will not die anywhere in the game’s world but he can be stuck anywhere in it, if he/she will not be able to solve the puzzles. The player will also have two (2) abilities: he can either turn fat, or he can turn thin. These abilities are limited, however, each having their respective advantages that can be used to better solve puzzles. The prince has packed pots with him for this trip and that will be the key for the switch between abilities. A running gauge will act as the timer. The game will start with the fat prince at the castle’s entrance, downing a humongous all meat burger. As the game goes along, some puzzles will require the prince to be thin for them to be solved. The player must save the potions and use them wisely for appropriate puzzles.
