Cris - Odd Prelude

Cris had the intuition that she shouldn't have approached that strange door, but she did, entering the magical world of dreams, the one in which her sister might be found, who had disappeared some time ago.

Your mission is to find a book, of which a mysterious man will warn you when you reach the left end of the mapped short, then starting a way back, in which you will have to move blocks and avoid enemies to finish the mission.

Behind this story is "Cris: Odd Prelude", a beautiful game that came in fourth place in the CPCRetroDev of 2017.

The graphics, like the game, exude a special charm, at times reminiscent of the classics "Another World" or "Flashback" (but with half bits), and the music plays a decisive role in maintaining that aura.

The only downside is that it is very short, tremendously short (the "longplay" available in the videos tab lasts just over four minutes), as short are the chapters of which it is composed. Presumably the cool animations help consume a good chunk of the 64K that the contest participants had, so it would have been great to see what they would have done with a 6128 version.
