[PC][Early 2000s-2010] Arabic/Oriental themed children’s point-and-click game with snake charmer
Platform: PC (CD-ROM)
Genre: Point-and-click / Interactive toy
Estimated year of release: Early 2000s (played around 2010-2014 as a child in Romania)
Graphics/art style: 2D, colorful, cartoon but drawn in a more realistic style. Had an Aladdin-like vibe in both visuals and music.
Description:
I’m trying to find a children’s PC game I played in primary school. It came on a CD. The main (and possibly only) screen showed an oriental/Middle Eastern old ruined house cut in half vertically, like a cross-section view, so you could see the inside — this was on the left side of the screen. In the center was the main character, and on the right side were round wicker baskets with lids (like the ones used by snake charmers in movies) — snakes would come out of them.
The character was an adult man with a turban and wide/baggy pants, viewed from the front, positioned roughly in the middle of the screen. He mostly stood still (maybe with a subtle breathing animation). He may have had a flute/pipe. The snakes from the baskets did not seem to be enemies.
Inside the house (visible through the cross-section), I believe there were wooden shelves with objects on them that you could click on, possibly triggering small interactions or mini-games.
The gameplay involved clicking on objects — for example, you could open and close the snake baskets. The house on the left also had clickable elements. clicking on things may have triggered mini-games or small interactions.
The camera was fixed — no scrolling or other rooms/worlds that I can remember. The music was oriental/Middle Eastern in style.
It was likely a standalone entertainment game (not educational). It could have been part of a larger menu with multiple mini-games/scenes, but I’m not sure.
I do NOT think it was: Aladdin (Disney), any well-known franchise game, an action/platformer, or Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection.
Any help is appreciated — this has been stuck in my memory for years!
