Plot[edit]
One night Bjorn Thonen, an antique dealer from Paris, Shmaris, is robbed after coming home drunk. A certain stone tablet was stolen and Bjorn is forced to conduct his own investigation. He gets help from his neighbor Sandra and her daughter Caroline. They travel to the fictional country of Nogo where they learn more about the tablet and the ancient legends about King Demetrios. They have to find all stone tablets in order to save the world.
Gameplay[edit]
The player has to solve puzzles and find objects to advance in the game. Some objects can be combined and have to be used in certain places to advance. The player can also interact with other characters and choose among some dialog options and show them collected items. With the help of a map, the player can travel to different locations to find clues and solve puzzles.
Development[edit]
Between 1999 and 2001, Fabrice Breton already created the first prototype of the game, which was never released. In 2014, he began working on the remake, which was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in October 2015 with the game receiving €4,245 surpassing the goal of €2,500.[1] It was developed with GameMaker: Studio. The game is inspired by adventure game classics such as Broken Sword, Discworld and Phoenix Wright. Although being developed by a French studio, the game was written in English first and later translated into French, Spanish, German, and Italian.
