King's Quest - Chapter 3: Once Upon a Climb
King’s Quest - Once Upon a Climb is the third chapter in the new, critically-acclaimed reimagining of the classic King’s Quest game series. In his latest adventure, King Graham recounts his most personal tale yet. When the magic mirror reveals the location of his one-true love, Graham must climb to daring new heights to save his future Queen. But what he encounters there might just send his notions of romance sailing out the window. Will Graham finally meet his match? Will it be love at first height? Will love-sickness have Graham seeing double? And when did he have time to go to the gym?
