A magician’s trick goes horribly wrong, and now he must fix his mistake. But that’s easier said than done when your entire audience has been banished into another dimension…

The Pretender is a puzzle-based 2D platform game designed to twist your brain into a knot.

Take control of a 19th Century parlour magician who is transported to a world where the very elements can be manipulated. Using your new-found powers, rescue your audience and bring them back to the real world.

But it won’t be easy. Many obstacles stand in your way, and only through the cunning use of the elements will you pass through. And even if you manage that, you will find that more dark surprises await you in this strange land…

Instructions: Use the arrow keys to move around, and press the space bar to use your powers. (The space bar can also be used to skip speech bubbles.) Further instructions can be found in the game itself.
