Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens
2007 video game
Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens (German: Simon the Sorcerer: Chaos ist das halbe Leben) is an adventure game developed by Silver Style Entertainment. It was released by RTL Enterprises in February 2007 for Microsoft Windows.
Plot
After being knocked out by his little brother with a remote control, Simon has a vision of Alix (the buxom granddaughter of Calypso and his longtime crush) telling him the Magic Kingdom is in danger.
Simon instantly climbs into his dimension travelling wardrobe to go and investigate. On arrival he meets a distinctly undistressed Alix who not only has no idea what danger our hero is talking about but who also seems to think she's been dating Simon for months (or at least since the end of Simon the Sorcerer 3D) and wants to dump him for being too boring.
Reception
Eurogamer acknowledged the game was an improvement over the previous version but remained overly simplistic at times.
Metacritic lists an average score of 50 out of 100.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens” is 2007 video game. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Simon, Sorcerer and Chaos, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “2007 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2043757. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
