Hey, all. Kinda desperate here and am fairly certain the game in question is a classic mac game (had a few others agree with me despite also not remembering the name of the game in a similar reddit post I made that also had yet to bring me an answer).

For nostalgia purposes I'd like to try to track it down but as stated I don't have a clue what the game is called and nothing I have used from it has helped turn up a concrete result.

The game is an old game, probably from the 90s because I remember playing it as a kid in computer class at school.

The good news is that I would think someone being able to tell what it is would be fairly likely as I have pictures to provide. The game was essentially a storybook creator but I don't know if it went outside the scope of the story my class created along with me, which was a funny story using friendly monsters as the protagonists, one of which IIRC you inserted your own name into. I believe the story came for the most part pre-written but allowed small sections where you could either typenin your own words or select from a small assortment of phrase options. There are a small handful of games that seem to fit this description online (My Favorite Monster, Storybook Weaver, etc.) but none of them seem to match what I have here. But since I have physical evidence here I know this is a real game and that this isn't some Mandela effect thing, lol.

Photos I took of the old book as it was printed provided. Thanks to anyone who can id this game!

Have you tried running it through AI ?
Other than simply manipulating my search terms for the AI with a Google search (which has obviously been unsuccessful), no... I'm not sure exactly what process I would take; I've had limited experience (and thus knowledge) of AI use. Any specific suggestions/tips on what specific steps to take and with what AI source?

You can look into it but I believe many can do a search based on the images you posted.

If you use Google to search, ask what AI and how they can identify an image.

I know very little about AI. Exactly what source should I use (far as I can tell many cost money to use) and how would I use it to accomplish this?
