Under the umbrella of the DreamCatcher Inc. publishing label are DreamCatcher Games and The Adventure Company. While the former division is busy with Genesis Rising, The Adventure Company is busy with something a bit more family-oriented. They just released their newest adventure title that's rated E for Everyone: Hans Christian Andersen: The Ugly Prince Duckling.

It's out now on shelves, retailing for US$ 19.99. That gets you a game that's chock full of fairytale quirks and oddities. You'll be playing as none other than Hans Christian Andersen himself as you walk around and investigate Copenhagen. You'll have to save the princess (and the entire kingdom, at that) and foil the plans of the Master of Darkness. He's pretty set on kicking out the King and transforming the whole place into a Troll's realm of darkness.

Along the way, you're going to be meeting and greeting some 60-odd fairytale characters from Andersen's very own creations. Explore gaudy shops, elaborate tunnels, misty alleys, and all that, just right before bed time.
