Really interesting to walk around the theatre and learn about its history. The game does a good job of making you explore every bit of it. It felt like a living wikipedia page and I hope we see more "games" like this in the future. This is such a great medium for exploring history.
It's a short game about solving a mystery in a Roman theater in Gaul. The mystery was engaging, the characters were interesting, and the architecture was nothing short of amazing! Props to the folks who made this free educational game! P.S. my only complaint is that some of the French to English wasn't translated 100% accurately, leading to some confusing phrases.

Point&Click tarzında güzel bir interaktif kurgu oyunu benim şahsen hoşuma gitti.
Some moments of my hours in Arausio were truly wonderful. It's surprisingly engaging, embroiling you in a detective story that lends well to investigating suspects [i]and[/i] setting. The moment-to-moment experience is mostly walking and reading but it feels like more than that playing it. It also doesn't overstay its welcome, lasting no more than 2 hours (though an hour or even less isn't unreasonable). The english translation flounders here and there but is overall good. Personal Experience (why I actually recommend it, bear with me): [spoiler]In Walden's first chapter Thoreau wonders "could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?" Though he lists myth, history, and especially literature as vehicles to express the unfathomable and largely untested variety of human experience, the experience of such a miracle (even revisiting bygone settings) would itself be wondrous. Though reading, via imagination, is the freest vehicle it also readily furnishes historical misunderstandings if one doesn't already know the period well. Games like Arausio, under the auspices of a well-meaning developer like Ikigai and real-world UNESCO research, better balance or even prioritize faithfulness to a place-in-time where entertainment typically supersedes accuracy in the medium. Of course not every game needs to prioritize or elevate realism; imagination is naturally unfathomable and less constrained, [b]but faithfulness to a period often reveals realities we wouldn't imagine[/b]: the nigh-numinous wistfulness of contracting a theater's radiating fibers, those red velarium, with our cornu's clarion call, and dilating the sky as though heaven were a pupil fixed on us. So too did admiration for the acoustic design of the theater, which resonates in all of its structural elements, leave an impression on me which no history course has: the style and ingenuity of ancient peoples is staggering.[/spoiler] Arausio is necessarily an imperfect portrayal of its place and its time, but Ikigai's emulation of it was sufficient enough that for a few moments playing it I felt as though I witnessed something miraculous.
Bu anlatı keşif oyununda Arausio'nun antik tiyatrosunu keşfedin ve Roma antik çağını keşfedin!
Очень необычная игра. Я бы добавил к игре несколько доп.режимов, к примеру проведение концерта, совершение убийства и т.п.
I really enjoyed it. The storyline and tasks were interesting and fun. Also lots of facts and history you can learn from which is cool.
Es ist eine Mischung aus historischem Führer durch eine Art virtuelles Museum und Point & Click-Spiel. Zum einen kann man das virtuell rekonstruierte, antike Theater in Orange, Frankreich, in Third-Person-Modus besichtigen und zu verschiedenen Dingen Infotexte lesen, zum anderen kann man aber auch ein kleines Detektivspiel spielen, über das ich im Folgenden schreibe. Die Story dreht sich um eine mutwillig zerstörte Statue des Kaisers im Theater, eine Straftat, die man aufklären soll. Dafür schaut man sich in der auf das Theater beschränkten Umgebung um, sammelt Hinweise und spricht mit den Anwesenden, um herauszufinden, wer ein Motiv hatte, die Statue zu zerstören, und um zu schauen, welche Beweise für welchen Täter sprechen. Es ist sehr kurz gehalten, macht aber großen Spaß. Daumen hoch für diese geniale Idee eines virtuellen Museums!
Избегал эту игру из-за того, что в отзывах люди писали о наличии только французского языка. Но, вауви, в игре всё же оказался английский язык (или же его добавили). Это, очевидно, облегчило прохождение игры для многих игроков, но, всё же не так сильно... Текста слишком много. Он познавательный, действительно заставляет хотя бы немного почувствовать себя римским детективом и вообще ощутить атмосферу того времени, но... но текста всё ещё много. В какой-то момент я просто начал сидеть с переводчиком, потому что мои глаза начали уставать от количества БуКв. Но это дело вкуса, поэтому и за минус считать сложно) Графика приятная, локация не очень большая, поэтому запутаться сложно будет) Подсказки удобные (но отказаться от них не получится), управление интуитивно понятное, дизайн у каждого персонажа свой и некоторые особенности характера проглядываются. Сюжет довольно прост: мы "детектив", которого вызвали в связи с происшествием в театре. Либо это случайность, либо чей-то хитроумный план... Все ли говорят правду? Какие секреты скрывают некоторые из присутствующих? Это всё и нужно нам выяснить, по мере прохождения решая лёгкие загадки (есть даже мини-игры) и почитывая материалы в журнале и заметках Уделить немного времени игре можно, но будьте готовы читать много текста или же сидеть с переводчиком)
