# King's Quest IV Remake – Demo v1.1

Thanks for downloading **King's Quest IV Remake Demo v1.1**!

## About the Game

The **King's Quest IV Remake Demo** was created by **Unicorn Tales Studios**, a small group of artists and programmers dedicated to recreating  
**_King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella_**, the classic Sierra On-Line adventure and the fourth entry in the legendary series.

In this chapter, you play as **Princess Rosella**, daughter of King Graham and Queen Valanice of Daventry, as she travels to the land of **Tamir**—a mysterious, distant realm filled with wonder and fairy-tale creatures.

## Gameplay Changes

- Original text parser replaced with the classic **Sierra icon bar interface**
- Not a 1:1 remake
- Tweaked puzzles based on fan feedback
- Removed dead ends and obscure or awkward puzzles

While the original 1988 release was groundbreaking as one of the first “3D” graphic adventure games, some elements didn’t fully align with modern adventure game standards. This remake aims to modernize the experience while staying faithful to the original spirit.

## Graphics & Audio

- Pre-rendered **3D graphics** (not true real-time 3D, same philosophy as the original)
- New and improved **dialog system**
- Additional animated cutscenes and close-ups
- Newly composed **music and sound effects**

## Troubleshooting

If the game does not run or parts of the screen are not visible:

1. Run `winsetup.exe`
2. Adjust graphics and display settings
3. On some systems, the game only runs in windowed mode
4. Window size can be adjusted via graphics filters in `winsetup.exe`
