L'héritage de Tatie Lucette

In this game, you are the lawyer or executor of Tatie Lucette and have to distribute her estate.

To do this, you examine each of the three objects (a fortune-granting golden scepter, a future-telling lamp, and some kind of weird sexual toy that transfers mind consciousness). You have to read many epistolary fragments of Tatie's history to figure out what she was like (a spy, a singer, actress, fighter, drug-user, extensive lover, and so on). Each of her 9 attributes maps on to one of the 3 artifacts.

In addition, there are 7 possible heirs (including a cat), each of which possesses differing amounts of those 9 traits.

So, it's pretty simple: find the three traits each object has, find the person who has those traits, and win!

Unfortunately, there is a time-limit, so you can't interrogate everyone. So you need to carefully pick what you'll ask who.

Or, like me, you can replay several times.

There are a ton of words in this. As a non-native speaker, it was a struggle to read a pageful or more for every choice when each of 8 different options on the screen leads to 8 or more options (so basically like a 50-100 page French book).

The game openly embraces drugs and sexuality, even having you show pornography to a minor at one point, which stuck out to me as something I didn't really feel comfortable with.

Overall, the writing was amusing and the puzzle structure was a good one that I could see being fun in future games as well.

Vous avez une heure pour interroger 6 personnages très ridicules (et un chat) et découvrir qui hérite les 4 objets dans le testament de Tatie Lucette. Il y a beaucoup à lire, donc ça m’a pris un peu plus qu’une heure (j’ai joué 2 fois pour trouver les bonnes réponses, la première m’a pris ~1h30). Le temps limité fait que tu ne peux pas demander toutes les questions, et c’est très improbable de trouver les bonnes réponses dans ton premier essai, mais si tu t’en souviens des indices tu peux tout résoudre en rejouant une fois. Le puzzle est simple, c’est pas un jeu de mystère ou il faut trouver des indices et réfléchir, c’est surtout juste drôle de parler aux personnages et voir leurs réponses absurdes. Mon personnage préféré est Dr. Maléfik >:)
