The Abbey

Encore un jeu point & click old school sans prétention! The abbey repose uniquement sur l'originalité de se passer dans un monastère avec de nombreux dialogues, certains avec des voix affreuses comme celle du nabot qui nous suit pendant toute l'aventure. A part ca aucun puzzle, seulement des objets à chercher et utiliser au bon endroit, le minimum pour un jeu d'aventure très linéaire avec une histoire sans réelle surprise. 10/20

This is a game from the 2000s, so it has no hints/highlighting, it has a clunky inventory and the graphics may look a bit dated. Once you look past these, it's a decent title if you're P&C adventure games. It puzzles are not particularly challenging but they're logical. You'll get a few decent hours out of this.

Classic point & click adventure game where you investigate a series of murders in an abbey. As usual you need to speak with everyone, collect, combine and use objects in order to move with the story. There are a couple of very easy puzzles along the way that shouldn't block you too long if you have the needed objects in your inventory. The graphics are gorgeous for the period, all dialogues are voiced. My only grip is the walking speed in some screens, however you can usually double click to skip a scene or use the map through the M key for direct teleportation. Pay attention that a remaster / director cut edition of this game is sold on Steam for half the price, may be better to grab it but I didn't play myself so I can't compare.

A good mystery, however it is very very slow. The characters are interesting and you want to know what happens but you really need patience to get anywhere.

Un pure merveille. Réalisation splendide, énigmes bien foutues, musique à tomber par terre, écriture prenante : l'un des meilleurs points and clics que j'ai fait !

Yes.

Tags: Adventure - P&C - Point and Click Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Backtracking oriented in a small environment. Intellectual and memorable but with some stiff puzzles. Requires a guide. Comes a hair short of being a cult classic. Polished and worthwhile P&C adventure that stands proudly on its own if not as tall as lucasarts, sierra or dedalic offerings. The Abbey is a charming, cartoony, investigative point and click adventure game. It has an high emphasis on political intrigue, unraveling relationship between characters, motives, and has a strong investigative current through and through. The voice acting is mostly great with only a few blemishes, the graphics hold up very well, the lighting effects are very nice, however even with antialisasing I still had blurred textures, as well as an absence of widescreen. The game is satisfying with a plot that grips you early enough and keeps you hooked until the end. The lenght is medium to short, but given that lack of variety in locations it seemed just about right. If you keep a walkthrough handy for the few times you get stuck you will most probably have a wonderful P&C adventure experience, keep frustration to a minimum, be able to enjoy the narrative in a more relaxed manner, and you will probably find that you solve most of the puzzles on your own. I recommend this for P&C adventure fans, especially if you would enjoy a medieval game that is not centered around fantasy elements or swordplay. Especially if you have a guide lying around. However, the game is not as iconic as the ones you might have grown up with and there is little to no reason to recommend it over them or return to the game once you have beaten it.

Gutes Adventure! Spannende Geschichte und Charaktere ,schöne Grafik und meist schöne Rätsel! Dazu sehr ungewöhnliches und interessantes Setting!Nur Speicher und Ladezeiten sind zumindest bei mir etwas lang
