Play Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

Name: Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales
Author: Hans Christian Andersen

after the classic by Hans Christian Andersen, 1837

Walk into the tales as they really are — the sea-witch's bargain, the Snow Queen's mirror-splinter, the emperor's invisible clothes. Pay the tales' hard prices, or find the endings Andersen never wrote.

A moment from one playthrough

The Snow Queen's sledge slows beside you on the frozen square, and Kai's seat is empty — the splinter is in YOUR eye now, and her furs look warm, her mathematics beautiful. Gerda is calling your name from the gate. Climb in, or shut your eyes and answer Gerda?
