The levels in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe are broken into two styles; the ones inside the land of Narnia, which tend to be action oriented and operate on top-down RPG elements, and those sequences not in Narnia, which have more adventure elements. You follow the four children found at the begining of the books as they transition back and forth from the real world to the magical world of Narnia, and in the process work your way through the story. The adventure areas take place in a mansion in the mid-1940s, where the children live after an air raid destroys their home in London. In fact, the destruction of - and subsequent escape from - the home in London is where this tale begins, walking your characters through a fairly straightforward tutorial before you ever come close to seeing Narnia.
