[spoiler=Details]When the inventor/magician known as Old Man Bill suddenly disappears from his house in the middle of the desert, his friends, companions and pets start worrying: what could have happened? To solve this sinister mystery, they call upon their old acquaintance, pretentious game designer Jonas Kyratzes, who builds a magical portal into the Lands of Dream. Using this portal, YOU can now interact with the wondrous and colourful world of the house at Desert Bridge, and help Harold the Talking Picture Frame and his friends locate their master, Old Man Bill.

In reality, The Strange and Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge is a transdimensional portal - but if your friends don't believe you, tell them it is something of an old-school adventure game, with wonderful hand-drawn graphics, beautiful music and a lot of humour.  Or, if they're more into feature lists, you could say something like this:

    * Colourful hand-drawn graphics!
    * Beautiful music!
    * A lot of humour! (Some of it funny.)
    * And some serious bits, too.
    * Red herrings! (Literal and metaphorical.)
    * A dinosaur in the garden!
    * Many fascinating characters to meet!
    * Non-linear structure! (More or less.)
    * More content than you can shake a wet carrot at!
    * The only inventory system ever to feature the "gerbelize" option!
    * Not a single annoying action sequence or minigame!
    * Brew potions! (Even some useful ones!)
    * A lot fewer exclamation marks than this list!
    * Freeware!

In brief, it's a hilarious adventure game with an interesting (sort of) storyline,
expect numerous giggles throughout the game.
