Feria d'Arles

Feria d’Arles is one of my most commonly recommended comedy adventure games. I think this is a great entry point to the genre even if you don’t have much experience with it. We play as Molly, a young girl who arrives in the city of Arles in the south of France with the goal of becoming a great bullfighter. Unfortunately, as Molly is just a young girl, we need to explore the town looking for a way to bamboozle the staff into letting her give the whole bullfighting thing a go. Molly is just a lovely protagonist and it is impossible not to like her. She is deeply rooted in adventure game tradition, and her reactions and her animations help her sparkle off of the screen. The game as a whole packs a ton of charm and joy into a really small package. It’s not a long game but It is a delightful little diversion that can be completed in a single sitting or two. It’s also perfect for streaming if you are into that sort of thing. The puzzles in Feria d’Arles are actually a little on the tricky side. This is mitigated by the fact that the game is so small. There’s only a handful of rooms to explore and not a crazy ton of hotspots items, so all of the game’s puzzles can eventually be worked out without too much issue. This is a fantastic game to add to your collection, especially at such a reasonable price point. I strongly recommend giving it a go.

I bought this game because i actually live in Arles and I was curious. It's a fun little game and i enjoyed playing it. I need to tell you though, before you get stuck, there is one (and only one) event in the game for which you need to perform the same action 3 times in a row. It got me stuck for quite some time, and i had to look up the answer. Now the perspective of an actual citizen of Arles : This has little to do with the real feria d'Arles. We don't play bagpipes but rather brasses and drums, the streets are full of people eating, drinking and singing. And at the end of the Bullfight the bull gets turned into delicious steak. (But i understand how this needed to remain family friendly). Some things were accurate though, the obelisque, the amphitheatre, the street merchant selling feria related stuff, and mostly the Pastis (a lot of Pastis). Overall i'm happy i bought this game, i had a fun time even though it's a bit short

Fantastic, bite sized adventure game that avoids the trappings of other modern "throwback" point and click titles. The humor and art exceeded my expectations; definitely on par with any of Lucasarts' classics.

Excellent little adventure game. Puzzles aren't TOO wacky which is a trap some games can fall into, and if you like pixel art it's a real treat!

Really short (took me 77 minutes to get 100% achievements not just only finish it), but really good adventure game. You play as a kid who wants to become a bullfighter. Set in Arles: a town most famous for Van Gogh living there.

A lovely little game that's less than the price of a coffee. Took me about one hour and twenty minutes to complete. Very reminiscent of the Lucasarts glory days with a lot of charm and humour.

Excellent game, great mechanics. This punny and cute game is very much reminiscent of old 90's point and click adventure games in the style of LucasArts. The puzzles are intricate and complicated, but not too complicated that it makes the game hard. I would highly reccommend playing this game. It's short, but well worth your time!

This is a very nice little adventure. It's on the short side (only 90 min to complete, although I had to peek at the walkthrough twice), but the presentation is great and the gameplay solid. Puzzles are well designed and you never have a sense of getting lost. Game offers plenty of pop culture references and also some tribute to classic of the past
