King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder is an adventure game in the long-running King's Quest series. Players control King Graham as he embarks on a quest to rescue the Royal Family of Daventry, who have mysteriously disappeared.

The game takes place in a fantasy world filled with magic and peril, where Graham must overcome obstacles and solve puzzles to progress.
