Overview: The true story of Sleeping Beauty... You are a detective sent 1,000 years after the original tale is told to a castle believed to be Briar Rose's resting place. The vines under the castle are growing at a rapid rate and threatening a city. Can you stop whatever it is?
Sparkles: These are areas of interest.
Puzzles: Puzzles can be skipped but will lock the hint button for 5 minutes.
