Frasse and the Peas of Kejick is an adventure game featuring Frasse, a blue hairy monster. Cute, isn’t he? The game is not only cute, but also funny and you can download it for free!
System Requirements
- Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later (with an Intel processor) or Windows 95 or later. (It does not work on a modern Mac, but there should be no problems on modern Windows.)
- A graphics card capable of OpenGL. (In Windows this may mean that you should update your graphics drivers. Check the web site of your graphics card manufacturer for an update.)
Reviews
Want to know more about the game before downloading it? Read what other people think of it! The following reviews were written for the old version, before I’d released the updated Special Edition with improved music and graphics and added voices:
- Dan Shiovitz was the first person to review Frasse. “… if you like this kind of graphical game you will almost certainly like Frasse and the Peas of Kejick.”
- Adventure-Archiv – Review in German or in English.
- Adventure Europe wrote a review in German, but that site has disappeared from the Internet.
- Jozef Purdes included Frasse in his February 2006 roundup of independent adventure games. The game also got a full review from him a month later. Score: 4.5/5.
- Gametunnel game four mini-reviews of Frasse in its March 2006 Indie Game Monthly Round-Up. The final score ended up as 7.3/10. (They’ve removed the page since then, but there’s a copy of it in the Wayback Machine.)
- Adventure Gamers – one of the largest and best adventure game sites – also has a review of Frasse. I’m honored.
- “CaptainD” has written a small review. (That site no longer exists, but the Wayback Machine has a copy.)
- Yet another favourable review, this time from Abandonia Reloaded. A score of 5/5!
- In the MusEditions blog, Frasse is descibed as an Uplifting Game. Many nice words follow.
- “JD” reviewed the game, and mostly liked it.
Do you know of a review not listed here? Let me know about it, and I’ll add it to the list!

How is this game licensed? Where is the GNU/Linux version?
There is no Linux version of the game, but there is a Linux port of the game engine I used (SLUDGE), so it is possible to grab the data file from the Mac version and run that with the Linux version of SLUDGE (see http://opensludge.sourceforge.net). As you probably can tell, I’m not a Linux user myself.
License? I’m not a lawyer, nor have I hired one, so I have not written a proper license. I’ll simply state that I’m not giving up any copyright, but that you’re welcome to download and play the game for free. You may also share the game with a friend (in its original form) if you want to.
I have Mac OS X Tiger and I get an error that tells me that my PC doesn’t have a program that can run it. Does it matter that it’s a G3 PPC?
That’s probably it. I’ve never had a PPC, so I have nothing to test that on. I know that it did at one point work on PPC, but the sound libraries used by the game engine were a real pain to get working as “fat binaries” (both Intel and PPC), so I’m not surprised to hear that it’s broken now. I don’t think I can fix that – sorry. Thanks for letting me know about it.

Hi, can you please help me with sludge?
I hope someone still reads this… *fingers crossed*
I recently discovered SLUDGE and I wanted to download the most up to date version.
The language syntax is very simple compared to adventure game studio so I want SLUDGE :).
I don’t know a thing about c++ and how to compile the latest release (I tried but I got some errors..) , I wish there was a binary download or someone that could help me.
regards,
Tom
Hi,
Unless you’re prepared to learn how to compile it (and do it for both Mac and Windows) and learn C (the source is mostly plain C) so that you can maintain it, I wouldn’t recommend that you use SLUDGE. As far as I know, there has been no official support forum since the Adventure Developers forum went down over a year ago, nobody is actively developing the engine, only the Linux version of the engine is maintained, and there are no active users of it to ask for help if you get stuck.
Sorry, but I don’t have the time or energy to work on SLUDGE. If and when I do get time for game development again, I want to use that for my new game. I recommend you take a look at Unity, and the Adventure Creator extension written for it.

Dear Rikard Peterson,
I have played Frasse and the Peas of Kejick many, many times and love it to bits. I am absolutely desperate for a sequel and I know many others would be too – I have made all my friends play it! If you have time to produce a sequel, using the SLUDGE engine once more, I would be overjoyed. Please return to game-making and Frasse!! I would even consider donating some money to the cause!
I hope you read this and are inspired to continue the saga of Frasse!
Many thanks,
Augustus Hatt
Thank you for your kind words, Augustus. I have currently no plans for a new game, but that might change in the future.
Hi there,
is there any chance that you make a sequel of Frasse? That were great!
Thanks! I have thought about a sequel, but right now that feels very unlikely (though never say never). I do however have another game in the works…
Hi, I downloaded it and Windows blocked it. Is it safe to install?
Yes. I have not upgraded my system to Windows 11, so I don’t know if it’ll run on that but it should be safe to try.
