In the castle of infinity live the eccentric masters of the elements who control time, gravity, electricity, warmth, light and chance. When the Master of Chance loses his cat, the balance of the elements is disturbed as all the other masters have gone to search for the pet. It is up to you to restore the natural order of things and collect the missing pages of the Garden of Chance book. When you solve a puzzle and find a new page, the Master of Chance appears and tells you a story with clues that lead to the missing cat.

In this game, for ages 8 to 102, each chapter of the storybook can be played in any order. The different rooms are related to the natural elements and teach a very limited amount of physics and science through the games and puzzles. Your progress in the game is shown through a number of clover leaves. You can pick up things, but there is no inventory, as all items have to be used in the screen they were found. When all the missing pages have been discovered, you can enter the Garden of Chance to retrieve the missing cat. [source:mobygames]
