Rather than typing commands on a keyboard to interact with the game world and use the arrow keys to walk around, King's Quest V instead simplifies all actions down to base commands. King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder is an adventure game, and the first from Sierra to use a point-and-click mouse interface. Surely Crispin will be able to help King Graham rescue his family from Mordack's clutches.
Cedric offers to take him to his homeland, Serenia, where his master, the wizard Crispin resides. He tells him that he saw the whole thing, and that an evil wizard named Mordack whisked the entire castle away, along with Graham's family in it. When he returns, he discovers with horror that his home, Daventry Castle, has completely disappeared! Graham is at a loss, and wonders how this could have happened, when a talking owl named Cedric appears.
On a beautiful sunny day, King Graham of Daventry decides to take a stroll in the woods surrounding his castle. Amiga, FM Towns, Macintosh, PC-98, Windows 3.x
