A pretty simple and very short quest released exclusively in France. Plot: you play a private detective, whose task is to rescue the child of wealthy parents, kidnapped by bandits. Visually, the game is implemented as a set of successive black and white static images; sometimes change is instantaneous, and sometimes the picture is "slipping away" beyond the game screen, giving place to the next. The gameplay is much like text adventures with graphics, but most of the commands you need don't have to be entered manually, you can choose from the menus at the top of the screen. In addition to the purely "technical", where there are three such groups: "Objet", "Personnage" and "the Action", while in fact each of them has a list of various verbs-actions. The first group includes activities such as "seek", "inspect", "show", and so on, with the conversation with the NPC came in the second group, moving or opening inventory (as he has in the game) - in the third. After selecting a particular team often opens its purely "menu" - in particular, the choice of moving the team will be asked to choose which of the presented in a small list of areas you want to move (and then there will always change the pictures!). In some cases, however, "continue" signified team action you have to yourself - for example, to enter the previously recognized code (this is the same quest, after all!), Or the name of an object. Graphics - only the CGA, with black and white (!) but extremely high quality; more than that - a choice of the creators of the game creates a great atmosphere of an old film noir. However, criminally short duration of the game and periodically pop-up image of a funny dog clearly hinted to us that this game is focused primarily on children's audience. Note also that the texts - explaining, for example, what you see in the picture, and on the basis of what you need to make a decision on further action - is in French, and for playing at least to know it needs to be mandatory. |
