Development

The game is heavily inspired by the 1964 Soviet Union fairy-tale movie Jack Frost (Морозко).[1] The authors of the game read over 1,000 original Russian and Czech fairy tales and legends to gain inspiration.[2]

The design style is hand-drawn animation[3], which were then modeled into the computer as 3D images.[4] The game was meant to be released in October 2000[5], but this was postponed until mid-December with the final few weeks being spent finishing the dubbing.[6] In cooperation with Bohemia Interactive, Bonusweb launched two competitions where entrants could win one of ten copies of the game.[7] Due to the popularity of the game's soundtrack, four songs were released on Bonusweb in Mp3 format.[8]

Fairy Tale about Father Frost, Ivan and Nastya was included for free with the January 2009 issue of Počítač pro každého.[1]

Critical reception

Games.cz felt the game would appeal to children because it was simple, clear, nice, and interesting.[9] Just Adventure felt the title would appeal to players who looked for mild cartoon violence and minimal stress in their adventure games.[10] Gry Online felt the developers had crafted an eye-catching, cartoonish visual setting.[11] Bonusweb deemed it the best Czech adventure game ever created[12], and the most technologically advanced adventure ever.[13] Adventure Gamers disliked the repetitive fetch quests and one-note characters.[14] Doupe said the game enjoyably extends the narrative of the film.[15]
