Fairy Tale About Father Frost, Ivan and Nastya

Cute adventure game and is very nostalgic to many. To those wanting to play on Windows 11 (or possibly higher), these are the fixes that worked for me Move game folder to your C: drive's root directory so that the path to the save files is not too long to read Download "cnc-ddraw config.exe" and follow the steps for installation on Github Open cmd (Command Prompt) as administrator, navigate to "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64" then type "regsvr32 ir50_32.dll" For further information, visit the PCGamingWiki on this game: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Fairy_Tale_About_Father_Frost,_Ivan_and_Nastya

Fairy Tale About Father Frost, Ivan and Nastya developed and published by Bohemia Interactive is a distinctly old-school point-and-click adventure that leans fully into the structure and spirit of traditional Slavic folklore. Rather than trying to modernize its themes or mechanics, it presents itself almost like an interactive storybook, where the focus is less on challenge and more on experiencing a moral-driven tale rooted in myth, archetypes, and seasonal symbolism. The result is a game that feels unusual by contemporary standards, but also quietly memorable for how sincerely it embraces its source material. The narrative follows two central characters, Ivan and Nastya, whose journeys unfold in parallel before gradually intertwining. Nastya’s story reflects themes of kindness and endurance, while Ivan’s arc leans more toward growth and redemption, and together they create a balanced contrast that echoes classic fairy-tale storytelling. The game is divided into segments tied to the changing seasons, and this structure is more than just aesthetic—it reinforces the cyclical nature of the narrative and subtly alters familiar environments as the story progresses. Revisiting location…

Game actually seems quite charming but it crashes for me just after knitting the sock with the error CPSE: Stream open failed. Its definitely related to the the indeo video codec which windows 11 stopped supporting (and stopped shipping) [strike] I'm usually fairly good at problem solving these kinds of things but all my efforts at trying to install/Register/Copy dlls or using things like compatibility mode fail. Going by the other reviews some people appear to have it working though so you might get lucky. Maybe the difference is a clean install versus upgrading from an older OS I don't know. Regardless its a refund and a not-recommend for me.[/strike] EDIT: This is what ultimately fixed the issue for me https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2493-indeo-codec-restoration-patch-for-windows-7/ I'm going to change my review to a tentive recommend for now.

Stejně zábavná klasika jako před téměř pěta dvaceti lety, kdy jsem byl jedno z mnoha dětí, co Mrazíka hrálo. Legitimně jedna z nejlepších českých adventur se skvělým dabingem, podobně roztomile přiblblým nadhledem, jako je nutné držet u původního filmu, a skvělou atmosférou. Asi mám štěstí, nebo Microsoft něco zlepšil, protože na Windows 11 jede hra nativně bez jediného problémů s ukládáním atd. Znalce pobaví použití některých zvukových efektů z Operace Flashpoint. Škoda, že tohle byla jediná odbočka BIS do světa adventur, ono zřejmě v tom ARMAření nezbývá čas na to, dělat něco jiného a zajímavějšího. Jediná drobnost, kterou si nemohu ověřit, neb už dávno nemám CD rom - přísahal bych, že v původní verzi šlo klikat pravým tlačítkem na všechny předměty v inventáři a dostali jste komentář postavy, ale teď to funguje pouze u úkolových předmětů, na které kliknout musíte - specificky si pamatuji Ivanovo zrcátko, ale asi jsem si to vyblouznil.

You have no idea how much this little game has impacted my childhood. It was my all time favorite game and I would play it everyday when I would return from kindergarten. My mom bought the CD for me and it was dubbed in Romanian, which made it infinitely better, every word that the characters spoke was like magic to my ears, I was mesmerized. This was my first time playing it in English, it cannot be compared with the Romanian version, but I still loved it nonetheless, it was like I was re-discovering the game. I could go on and on and talk about it and I'm just sad I never found another game of this kind. This review might be biased because I just love the game so much, but I encourage you to buy it for your kids, if not for yourselves! I'm sure there would be at least one kid just like me that will fall in love with Ivan and Nastienka's story!
