But something goes terrible wrong and instead of being able to slip into a human Snuphuluzius wakes up in a boring book. He is trapped and cannot escape without the help of someone else. Lucky for him, this book has just been bought -by you! Are you up to the demon’s challenges? Will you be able to perform the ritual and free Snuphuluzius XVII?

Still trapped between the pages! (Vol.2)

After allegedly releasing Snuphuluzius XVII from his eternal prison, he finds himself trapped once again in another book. Apparently he also went through numerous other books in the progress, like The Big encyclopedia of Pugs and a maths text book from school. Definitely not a pleasant experience. Eventually he ends up in a very thorough history book. But the magic somehow messed with the content of the book... and it has all come to life! Follow Snuphuluzius XVII through the different chapters of history and ensure his survival. A fun interactive story with lots of humour, puzzles and riddles. Will Snuphuluzius XVII be free in the end? Or is there more trouble ahead?
