You are a postal clerk in the small fishing village of Festeron. Mr. Crisp, the cranky postmaster, orders you to deliver an important envelope to the proprietor of Ye Olde Magick Shoppe. The kindly old lady then asks you to rescue her cat from a mysterious sorceress known only as The Evil One.

When you step out of the store, Festeron has been transformed into the sinister town of Witchville. You have only a few hours to defeat The Evil One.

Along the way, you find the Wishbringer, a magical stone that can grant seven wishes when used with a suitable object. The wishes are for advice, darkness, flight, foresight, freedom, luck, and rain. Each wish can be used only once per game and requires the player to possess a related object.
