Story:

In this adventure game you'll be wandering around in a castle. This castle has many hiding spots where items can be found. It also houses several magical items, often blocking your way. All the magic items can be removed or de-magicked by using the correct magic spell from your spell book.

You start with an empty spell book, so you'll need to find all the magic spells which written on scrolls and hidden away in secret hiding spots. Try to find all these scrolls. When a scroll has been found, the magic spell written on it will be added to your magic spell book. 

You can also find various other items, hidden away in recesses or other hiding places. Some of these items belong to a specific magic spell, while others are regular items that can be used (like a key). In order to use a magic spell from your magic spell book, you will have to carry with you the specific corresponding item.

But: besides your trusted magic spell book you can only carry 5 items with you. So you often will have to switch the item you are carrying with you. To do that you can place an item in one of the hiding spots you've discovered. Only one item can be placed in each hiding place at a time. It is therefore quite important that you keep track of which item you have hidden where!

There are so many interesting games in your pipeline!  I really hope they all get released. :) I've never heard of that one here but it looks and sounds very intriguing.

Thank you! 

Several games, like this one, are originally only available using a foreign (non-English) language. This one is Polish of origin. 

That might be why many people don't know of them and that's also one of the reasons I'm remaking them into English versions: to make them wider available (and often improve them slightly too) :) 

It's surprising how many good but non-English games there are from the late 80s up to the first half of the 90s retro era.
