1. Introduction
Little Briar Rose is a graphic adventure game inspired by “Sleeping Beauty” fable (the Grimm brothers version) and is our entry for the 2014 Indie Game Maker Contest.

In this game we’ll play as a brave prince that will try to save the princess, under a spell that makes her sleep forever. In order to save her, the prince will have to explore the enchanted forest that isolates the outer world from the castle where she’s penned.
It won’t be easy to save her: the forest is populated by different magic creatures, and the prince will have to understand and help them, so he can break the curse.


2. Characters
You are the prince of the fable, but will you be the real Charming Prince? Or will you just be an ordinary pretender, like Philip, Arthur and Edward before you? As the legend says, "Many tried, but only one prevailed". Every time you fail, a new suitor will come and try to save the kingdom.


3. Gameplay
This is a Graphic Adventure where you have to use the mouse for everything:

Look: to look far items[/*]
Action: to use an item or interact with an object[/*]
Talk: to talk with peoples[/*]
Go: move your hero to next the map[/*]

There are several items around the game. To use an item, select it from the item menu and click on the character or the area you want to use it.

Im not a big adventure fan, not even an adventure player, but let my say:

Your grapics-style is absolutely beautyful. Looks like a church-window. :)

[Mr.Räbbit]

I´ve allready seen this on rpgmaker.net and i must say:

This is one of the, if not the, most beautiful VX ACE Game out there ~ I will definitely give it a try!

Hello!

Some friends and I played it today, but we are very torn.

First of all - the graphics are very good and highquality and charming and all. No doubt at all, good job. But when we started to find out that most of the gameplay is just "Go to Person X and Person Y and then go again to Person X and give him Item Z" we were a little disapointed. It was very fun to build the gnome house, but after this, the quests had not much to do with thinking, just scrolling through all dialogs of all characters ever and ever again.

Maybe this sounds a little bit harsh, nevertheless the game had a beautiful look and with more options of interaction your next project could be excellent in both ways, gameplay and graphics.

We have created our first Devblog! Give it a look, guys! ;3

@Sabaku: We are sorry, the gameplay was supposed to be more intriguing but time ran out and we had to cut a lot of ideas. Check our dev blog, we are restyling the game to fix this and that. You don't sound harsh to me, is fine. :3 Let me know if you agree with the points we are planning to solve, as told in the blog.
