Here is the official description of Simon the Sorcerer Origins:
“Simon the Sorcerer Origins is the official prequel to the legendary Simon adventure series, embracing the classic nature of graphic adventure by combining modern gameplay with graphic style.”
“Simon is a rebellious teenager… especially rebellious (perhaps too rebellious for this miserable world)! After being (unjustly) expelled from school, his parents find themselves forced to move. A new life, a new house, a new bedroom, and Time to go. and a series of daring events connecting distant places in space (this is called the forced development of the plot) reflect Simon for the first time “once again” in a world of magic, where he lives with powerful (but practically useless) sorcerers and ridiculous creatures. ”
“Thus begins a fantastic (and possibly deadly) adventure amid problems and puzzles to be solved, an ancient prophecy that must be fulfilled, dangerous alchemical devices to decipher, and powerful spells (and inedible stews) and return home!!”
