* AbusiveParents: PlayedWith -- [[spoiler:TheReveal that the Wizard and the King are one and the same, and Tsioque's attempts to flee the castle at the end hints at this. Subverted by the ending, as the girl's father catches her about to fall down the stairs and is clearly worried and horrified. While he is probably having a stressful time being a stay-at-home dad and a video game developer at the same time, which may have inspired the wizard, nothing suggests he was in any way abusive, just busy.]]

''Tsioque'' is an upcoming hand-drawn PointAndClickGame by OhNoo Studios. The story begins that the titular princess, Tsioque, lived with her mother the golden-haired [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Good Queen]] in their castle at a time of peace. But the Good Queen had to leave her castle, and Tsioque, when news of an ancient beast called The Phoenix was on its way.

To prevent the beast from reaching her home and daughter, the Good Queen went off to fight the monster. Taking an army with her, the Queen set off straight away to battle with the hopes and prayers of her people. All but one. The Queen's [[SorcerousOverlord royal wizard]] chooses to take her absence as the time to take over the kingdom, casting dark magic to corrupt the castle and transform it and summon demons to command.

And in the center of all this is little Tsioque, whom the Wizard throws in the dungeon, kept under lock and key. But the princess isn't one to wait to be rescued, and takes things into her own hands to escape the Wizard. You can try a demo for the game [[https://www.facebook.com/OhNooStudio/posts/898165216915214 here]].
