The player must watch numerous video sequences and click on certain icons at specific times to proceed, all in an effort to figure out what is happening and how to escape. The game draws a heavy influence from Don Bluth's Dragon's Lairgames and features Bay Area actors Dale Morris, Fred Smith, Michael Ronin Orlando, Eric Carlson, Kaliopi Eleni, Jett, Pamela Herron and Jody Mortara among the fifty plus roles.

It should be in Apple’s Best Apps for 2011 list and big developers of eBooks should take a look and see what they can learn from this story — it is more than touch points. The inter- activity is woven into the plot, making it a real adventure.” \nQuote fra USA Today 29.01.12 (score 4 of 4) “With stunning 3D visuals, a varied soundtrack, great voice acting and interactions that are seamlessly incorporated into the story, kids will be transported into another world. It is one of the most sophisticated yet accessible book apps published so far.” \nQuote fra iHeartThisApp 23.01.12 “This app defines WOW, and Gnart is a showcase for the future of interactive children’s literature” \nNext to no marketing:\n100.000 downloads \nBest Norwegian game of 2011 \nApple “Best of 2011” in Appstore \n# 1 top grossing i Norge \n# 7 på top grossing in book category US\n
