You are Gwydion, the lowly slave boy to the evil wizard Manannan in the land of Llewdor. You have recently discovered that the wizard has planned to kill you on the dawn of your 18th birthday, which is soon approaching. Travel the land of Llewdor and gather ingredients to turn Manannan's spells against him and escape your fate, but be careful, for the evil wizard is watching your every move. King's Quest III: To Heir is Human is a faithful adaptation of the classic 1986 adventure game by Sierra On-Line, remade with loving care in the VGA style of the 1990's by Infamous Adventures.
