Set in April 1993, a few weeks before the events of the first episodes released 30 years ago…… SMALLTHING Studios, the developer, spent years researching and creating the storyline with the assistance and input from Simon Woodroffe (along with his father Mike), who was the lead creator and designer of the original Simon The Sorcerer series back in the 90s that were HUGE hits. Attention to detail, character analysation, attention to settings have all been researched to bring everything to life as you will see in the latest video creation!
