Wishbringer is an Interactive Fiction game published by Infocom in 1985, and set in the same world as the Zork series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The game begins with you, a humble postal clerk, being sent to deliver a letter to the proprietor of Ye Olde Magick Shoppe. The letter turns out to be a ransom note: an evil sorceress has kidnapped the proprietor's cat, and wants in return the magical Wishbringer.The Wishbringer is a magical stone that can perform seven magical actions (each of which can be used once only during the game). It is possible to complete the game without ever using the stone, but careful deployment of the "wishes" can make things much easier.A comedic novelization of the game was written by Craig Shaw Gardner in 1988.

Androcles' Lion: You can rescue a seahorse at the beginning of the game by tossing it back into the ocean. Later on, it will bring a wave of seahorses to rescue you if you get tossed in the ocean by the Boot Patrol.

Dark World: After you exit the Magick Shoppe, you discover that the evil sorceress has changed the pleasant town of Festeron into the creepy and dangerous Witchville.

Clairvoyant Security Force: In the card and novelty shop, touching anything summons the owner from an adjacent room.

Denser and Wackier: Even for Zork, which is pretty dense and wacky to begin with.

Creepy Cemetery: The Festeron one is spooky but harmless. The Witchville version is... surprisingly non-lethal, although all your items will be scattered if you enter.
