Back in January of 2022, Robert Dorman released a video on Art Carts. He asked the question "What would a book look like on a Game Boy". I was inspired by this thought and the end result is this - "The Ungrateful Son" by the Brothers Grimm, adapted for the Game Boy.
A ground breaking text-adventure video game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
