The story AnotherDimension of the MagicalLand of Enchantia, literally described as "ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway", where a [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen wicked witch queen]] wants to be [[OlderThanTheyLook stay young]] [[ImmortalitySeeker for all eternity]], but one missing ingredient to cast this spell is [[HumanResources a male child]] from [[AnotherDimension another world]] and so she creates a portal between Enchantia and Earth. Looking through it, the witch spots the young Brad, who just happened to come to play {{baseball}} with his sister, and so she immediately incants the summoning spell and snatches him to Enchantia. The game begins in a dungeon, from which Brad must [[PrisonBreak escape]] and then find a way to (surprise!) kill the witch and [[TrappedInAnotherWorld dash back to his own dimension]].

* AnachronismStew: Lots of very modern things in the otherwise {{fantasy}} world (coming from our universe too?), especially in the volcanic garbage dump area.

* ObviouslyEvil: The witches' particularily evil queen, complete with HellishPupils (GlowingEyesOfDoom when doing magic) and FemmeFatalons.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The witch queen in the end when she is hit by her spell and then finished with with her own RingOfPower.

* MagicVersusScience: During the FinalBattle, including combating a conjured {{ghost}} with a vaccum cleaner (WeaponsThatSuck, literally) to prove once and for all that BlackMagic [[IncrediblyLamePun sucks]], as well as SpinToDeflectStuff for AttackReflector of MagicMissile.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Makes sense with the demise of the witch at the end, but not really with the case of of a bandit who gets stabbed with his own sword earlier in the game (KickThemWhileTheyAreDown too, in both cases).

* SolveTheSoupCans: The game is ''packed'' with these kinds of puzzles. Most of the solutions to the problems you encounter will often turn out to be very arbitrary, even by usual adventure game logic.

* BuriedAlive: And at one point gets [[MagicMisfire accidentally magically]] transported by a mage into a coffin in an old grave.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: (Subverted) Brad encounters quite a few dangerous things, situations, and creatures, but he can't actually die in the game. The worst that can happen to him is that he gets very temporary AmusingInjuries.
* ForTheEvulz: Enchantia is described as being ruled by the baddest and meanest wicked witches the "universe has ever known", "commiting the most terrible deeds for no reason".
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: The witches' particularily evil queen is the baddie of the game, with [[HellishPupils hellish pupils]] ([[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] when casting a spell), [[FemmeFatalons long nails]] and a [[BadassCape badass cape]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: During the [[FinalBattle final battle]], the evil witch gets hit by her own [[MagicMissile spell]] [[AttackReflector deflected]] by an [[SpinToDeflectStuff fan]], and then also [[CoupDeGrace finished-off]] with her own [[RingOfPower magic ring]].
* IceQueen: Quite literally, as the game features also a very Ice Queen-like witch who is living in an [[IcePalace ice palace]] and has an [[EjectionSeat ejection seat]] in her throne for whatever reasons.
* MalevolentArchitecture: The [[BigBad high witch]]'s castle, complete with a [[OurGargoylesRock gargoyles]], [[PortraitPaintingPeephole portrait painting peepholes]], [[SurpriseSlideStaircase surprise slide staircase]] and a [[BookcasePassage bookcase passage]] to the queen's secret chamber.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Makes sense with the demise of the witch, but not really with the case of of a bandit stabbed with his own sword earlier in the game. Both of them were also finished when then they [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown were down]], which is apparently still heroic.
