About

This Hugo franchise game is an edutainment game - its theme is about biology. Its gameplay is varied between stages. In one stage, you might be guiding a near-sighted swallow to eat some insects, while on another stage you'll be tasked to memorize all the shown animals in a correct order. Essentially, the stages are minigames with puzzle or puzzle-like elements included. The stages are presented in a non-linear format, so you can enter in these stages anyway you like. There are 3 difficulty settings to choose from when beginning a new game.

The storys premise is that the evil witch Scylla has petrified some rabbit children when they interfered with her gathering of magic ingredients in the forest. However, one of Hugo's troll children, Rut, witnessed the event, and found a scroll that Scylla dropped, which contains a forest map and a recipe for a remedy potion for the petrification spell. Together with a hedgehog (who luckily can read the magic scroll) Rut will search the forest for these ingredients, and make the potion to release the children from the spell. Also the hedgehog want's to go home, and the petrified kids are blocking the way into his burrow, so he has reasons of his own to help out.
