Wait, how do you use a mouse to steal the ring? Scaring, I understand, but does it bite off her finger or something?

It freaks her out, she drops it, we steal it. It's the perfect crime!

It's not working at the moment though, so I'm assuming we'll need to at least dip her hand in grease or something.

Wipe her hand with some kind of oily rag, perhaps?

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.
What animation company was contracted to do the animations? I'm reminded of Animation Magic, which did animation for games including King's Quest VII, I.M. Meen and MAH BOI SQUADDILAH AND OTHER YOUTUBE POOP MEMES.

They actually hired a proper, legitimate animation group. At the time they had only done a few British TV projects, including the 1995 Wind in the Willows TV movie (the one with Michael Palin in it). You might know them better, though, as the people who gave us the first same-sex kiss in a children's film: https://youtu.be/u7AYd8uGG6E

I am not joking. That's them. You can look it up.

As far as I know, this game was only ever released in English and German. But you're right that Germany has a huge dubbing industry -- they're the only place you can get the entire run of Baywatch on DVD, for example, and it's all dubbed into German.

Some AMAZINGLY horrendous dubs came out of adventure games. Morpheus's German dub was, I can only assume, done by the company's drunk janitor and whoever he dragged in from the street and forced them to read some lines.

I have never played Morpheus, but since the wiki page makes mention of Myst: I very much liked the dub on that. The intro monologue by Atrus is excellent; while the English one sounds like what you'd expect your usual off-screen narrator to sound like, the dub voice has this hoarse, haunted quality of a man who knows he royally hosed up and has this kinda melancholic look on the future, which is out of his hands now.

Looking up the intro on YT also reminded me how kickass the Myst theme is.
