A medieval NES quest for the world's most important cheese recipe.
⚠ this game is still in active development. things will break, change, or disappear.
// overview
Legend of Stracchino is a homebrew NES game set in the Italian pre-alps during the Middle Ages. You play as a wandering knight who wants to get his hands on the recipe for the Stracchino cheese
You basically go around talking to people and fighting, all this to find the recipe of Stracchino cheese. Stracchino is actually the ancient term for all the cheese made by the cows while backtravelling down to the valley (usually between september and october). The name comes from the fact that the cows were tired (strach) during the descent, therefore making "poor" milk due to the effort.
