About:
Stop a conspiracy to sabotage Louis XIV's rule, as you explore and adventure your way through 1685 Versailles. The game was a commercial success, with sales of 500,000 units in Europe alone by 2000.
Story:
The game revolves around Lalande, a young valet de chambre, who is called by Alexandre Bontemps in the early morning of the summer solstice 1685 after a strange pamphlet is discovered (which at the bottom figures a title of Aesop's Fables: "the frogs and Jupiter"), written by a schemer who threatens to set fire to the castle, all the while littering it with satirical pamphlets and clues which, if correctly pieced together, could save the castle from its potential fate. The player has until nightfall to investigate the castle and surrounding areas.
