King's Quest 9: The Silver Lining

 

The Silver Lining free game opens at Rosella's wedding to her husband-to-be Edgar. During the opening sequence, fans of the King's Quest series will immediately recognize some of the locations and characters from previous games in the series.

(This very successfully strikes a nostalgic chord, but not one strong enough to make us forgive the game's other shortcomings.)

Suddenly, an ominous figure appears in a puff of smoke. He promptly casts a spell that puts Alexander (Rosella's brother) and Rosella into a coma, and then just as quickly disappears, leaving behind his cloak.

Graham, Rosella's and Alexander's father, sets out to discover the stranger's identity and rescue his cursed children.

(For those that don't know, the King's Quest games traditionally starred a different member of the family in each game, which is why Graham doesn't just order some lackey to go solve the problem.)

Episode 1 -What is Decreed Must Be

  1. Find Graham's adventuring clothes and change into them. Just keep wandering around and click on all the doors in the hallway where the game begins.
  2. Open the chest (in the same room with the clothes) and pick up his adventuring (inventory) bag.
  3. Find a coin on the balcony (through the doors from the room with his clothes) and pick it up. Yep, you just solved most of the game's puzzles, all in one room.
  4. Don't talk to Titania or the other fellow in the courtyard. The entire conversation is pointless and boring.
  5. Pick up the cloak, although it's not used for nothing in this game. We're not playing through again to find out what happens if you don't pick it up. Just trust us on this one.
  6. Exit the castle.
  7. Don't click on the strange man standing in town. Or the basket. Or any doors. None of them do or accomplish anything. And the narrator's dialog isn't clever enough to even make it entertaining.
  8. Just keep moving and ignore the fallen tree and the bird. There is nothing to see or do here.
  9. Walk right on by that pointless shack.
  10. Show the Ferry man the Daventry coin to prove you are the father of King Alexander.
  11. Pay the Ferry man with gold from the pouch so he'll take you where you want to go.
  12. Sit through a lot of long, non-interactive cut-scenes. Oh, and ignore that flower. It doesn't do anything.

In here, you will want to take a look at the shelf next to Alexander’s side of the bed and pick up the flute and the tinderbox. Leave the bedroom and downstairs to the Inner Gardens of the castle. Once you are in the garden, head up the stairs and through the doorway to the walkway and talk with Pan. You will now need to give Pan the flute in exchange of the lute. You will now leave the gardens and exit the front of the castle and head toward the village.

Head back toward the music platform and head north slightly where there is a slight thinning of one of the hedge walls. Open your inventory and use your hedge clippers on this area of the hedge. Follow the path to the entrance of the castle and use your hand to knock on the door. After you are greeted and talk with the Prince and with Beauty, head back into the castle and open the door next to the fireplace.

Go back to the men at the shop and give them the big lamp you just traded for. Talk to Lydia the clothing maker in the shop and she will tell you she needs some magical thread. Open your inventory and click your hand on the magic carpet and you will now have the magic thread.
