Play Quest for the Time-bird Online

Game Overview

Quest for the Time-Bird is one of those old-school MS-DOS point-and-click adventures that feels like playing through a comic book—which makes sense, since it’s based on a French graphic novel. You play as Bragon, a washed-up hero dragged back into action when his ex, the sorceress Mara, sends her daughter to beg for help. The world’s got nine days left before some god-tier traitor breaks free, and guess what? You’re the only one who can stop it.

The art’s gorgeous for its time—Akbar’s got these twin moons hanging in the sky, and the whole place feels like a fantasy painting. Most of the game is about talking your way into (or out of) trouble, especially with the Wizard-Prince Shan-Thung, who’s hoarding the one thing that can save everyone. Expect a lot of weird dialogue choices and inventory puzzles—classic adventure game stuff, but with a moody, almost melancholic vibe. If you’re into retro games with actual atmosphere, this one’s got it.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
