Have you been looking for a puzzler with archaeological themes and travel to unusual (especially for adventure games) locations? Join Rushes as she is lured away from the comforts of Brittany to a rock, an island, and historic canals as Sylvie Leroux investigates the mysteries of the Mary Celeste and the Tree of Life.

Was a fun game, translation was a little awkward in parts though.

Thanks for the great review, Rushes! I didn't know that there were timed sequences, as I haven't gotten that far into the game yet. Nice to know so I can be prepared in advance. thumbsup

Great review! It was such a pleasure to play this game. Sylvie is a great character and the actions required for the puzzles seemed to make more sense to me than some of the other games I have recently played. Glad to read that others have liked it, too. Hope they make another one!

Sounds like a game I would really enjoy.
Thought the scorpio ritual was good although a little short.

Thanks Rushes,
This is on the shelf to be played after I get through Dracula 3. Of course still replaying GK 3, as a in between casual.
Have a great new year, all.
