Sinister game The Purple Dino


A simple puzzle game? Think again. No doubt, there is a disturbing backstory to this one game called The Purple Dino. It's an escape game by Games 4 King. Often their games are straightforward. This one is more than that, and you find yourself wondering why you have to help this monster eat innocent people.
The description at the beginning of the game says: "There was a huge fort in the middle of the forest. The fort was very intimidating to see. There was a purple dinosaur to protect that fort." We see instantly that there is a dinosaur trapped inside a cage. And the rest?
To the right is a courtyard with a tower fort, and stone lions guarding a secret place. To the left is a poverty stricken area full of bugs. After opening secret places, we come to a room in a house that looks suspiciously like a child's prison. The next room belongs to a sorcerer.
We discover a cell room with a small child chained up beside a pit, which must be where the dinosaur comes out for a feed. Fortunately, the dinosaur was captured but you can't even rescue this child as that isn't part of the game.
The theme of The Purple Dinosaur is very dark and shows that its intention to use human sacrifices to a dinosaur that guards a secret fort. Since another hero caged the dinosaur and has been killed (clues ascertain this idea), the evil sorcerer in charge of the town wants you to rescue the dinosaur.

These games are mostly fun and attractive to look at but some of them are a bit too sinister to be considered good fun, like this one. I gave a review here because of the story surrounding the rescue of a monster that eats humans. 

Howls ^^
