About
Set in 1970s southern France, you play a rookie private eye tasked to dig out the secrets of a stubborn old man. Think on your feet while you follow your leads : ask questions to witnesses, detect their lies, hypothesize why and finally confront the silent ones running from their past.
You are entrusted with the peculiar case of Victor Dousvalon. This old history professor is known for shrouding his past life in secrecy, even from his own daughter Catherine. But an apparently harmless accident motivates him to hire you to help Catherine trace back the steps of his life.
Why can't he simply tell her his own story?
Why does Catherine, who has been so distant with her father these past years, suddenly want to know about him?
Your first case will decidedly be a delicate one...
Get engrossed in the handy work of a detective : search through family papers, ask personal questions, call at inopportune times, and be generally nosy.
No watching characters think for you, this is your time to prove your deductive powers. Choose leads, follow them to the end or stop when you think you’ve got the right idea. But you'll need to be convincing to push the silent ones to talk!
Piece together the lives, the choices, and the tragedies people are running from and walk a mile in their shoes.
Discover History, not from a bird’s eye view, but from the ground, where folks have to continue living and coping, each in their own unique way.

Kickstarter backer here (thus no star on the right). What a wonderful game. Even though it is set in the 1970s, the main theme of the game is the events that took place throughout WW2, the things people are silent about, the things that left a mark on them, and that's exactly what you end up investigating: because what happened in the past still paints the present. Thus, I can't describe the game as an entertaining one; moreover, I couldn't play it in a relaxed or tired state: you have to be alert, you have to read carefully what people say to you, you have to peruse documents you found. You know, a detective. And mind you, there are plenty of dialogs and topics you can talk to people about. And all of them are relevant to the big picture. All three cases are carefully connected, and bit by bit you're unveiling the life story of the mysterious man, Victor. It took me 15 hours to solve all three cases. Also, there is a hint system, and don't be afraid to use it.
Un jeu de déduction sympathique, mais particulièrement difficile, en particulier dans le chapitre 2 où le volume de texte est extrêmement important, ce qui complique les liens logique à faire. Quelques bugs graphiques mineurs, et quelques choix douteux au niveau de l'interface qui compliquent un peu la tache. PS: Il serait appréciable d'avoir un transcrit des différents documents dans une police plus lisible que celle originale. Certains documents sont écrits petit, et il est difficile de les relire lorsqu'on essaye de faire des déductions.
C'est un bon jeu, il a quelques bugs, mais les développeurs sont très réactifs pour les corriger. Les graphismes sont beaux L'histoire est prenante Le gameplay est efficace La difficulté est présente (il faut prendre le temps de bien lire et relire chaque dialogue et indices)
J'aurais adorer jouer à ce jeu qui semblait prometteur niveau enquête. Malgrè les commentaires négatifs, je me suis dit que depuis (le jeu étant sorti depuis plus d'un an !) les erreurs auraient été corrigées. Sauf que c'est injouable, on peut jouer 30 secondes, puis, nous sortons de la gare sous la pluie et là des saccades à n'en plus finir. Soit, je me dis "c'est à cause de la pluie, ça va s'arranger après." je me dirige tant bien que mal, enfin, on entre dans un bâtiment mais saccades et ralentissement sont toujours présents. J'ai beau baisser au max les graphismes et cocher la case prévue en cas de saccade (comme quoi ils sont au courant) mais non, ça continue. Je précise que le problème ne vient pas de mon PC, je viens de jouer à Resident Evil Requiem sans aucun problème ni bug donc, bon... Dans ces conditions le jeu est injouable, il est difficile de faire chaque action... Dommage.
says its compatible with steam deck but wasn't at all for me
Rieeeen compris. On est lâchés dans le vide, les points à relier sont incompréhensibles, on ne sait pas ce qu'on doit faire : on est p e r d u s. Alors on teste des trucs, un peu au pif, jusqu'à ce que le jeu nous dise qu'on peut avancer....avant de nous faire savoir qu'en fait on a pas ce qu'il faut. Il m'est tombé des mains super vite alors que c'est un genre que j'apprécie. Pourtant le setup est original, le doublage en français bienvenu, la musique sympathique...mais c'est la partie "jeu" qui pêche quoi. Dommage !
