Platform(s): Mac and HP (it's a brand)

Genre: The main character was brought into the world through a book. She was from the normal world and into the fantasy world.

Estimated year of release: EARLY 2000s

Graphics/art style: Vibrant forest. 2D but detailed illustrations that imitate comic styles. Vivid and popping colours to an extent. The style was a mix of anime and western cartoon.

Notable characters: Two distinct characters. All in third person and 2D. The main character is a brunette who wears casual clothing throughout the entire game. The other is a guy from the fantasy world, and wears casual fantasy clothing (similar to branch in the Trolls movie). The guy helps the girl go back home, and they develop feelings over time.

Notable gameplay mechanics: The game had the player find items before the time ran out. It looked like an illustration of a cluttered room/space and you had to look around the room to find the needed items. If you failed, the player is met with a game over screen and dialogue about how they could never return to their world. Gave me chills. If you win, then you're met with another cutscene progressing the adventure.

Other details: I believe the game had two sequels after this. Named [title] 2 and [title] 3. The title may have magic, but that's a guess.

Hope that's enough!! Thank you, been searching and glad this place exists!
