Do you speak Extraterrestrial? You don’t? That’s too bad – Simon doesn’t either! Of all people, our cheeky, favorite sorcerer has to save the Magic Kingdom from an invasion from outer space in this point-and-click adventure. During his adventure, he meets a number of vain and dubious characters which he turns into helpers of the third kind: goofy mole agents, giant octopuses, and a transvestite
pirate – Simon is spared nothing! For his fifth adventure, TGC gives Simon not only a modern 3D comic look, but also different solutions to the many challenges he faces on his odyssey. In its course, our sorcerer’s apprentice can not only act in his usual mean and vicious way, but also present a whole
new side of himself: friendliness!
