Review
This French game is designed to run on an Amstrad CPC emulator. It comes with pixel art.
This was tough; I often struggle with old-school games, and playing in French wasn't helping! I did find 2 out of 5 endings, and feel satisfied with that.
You are asked by an oracle in your village to explore an old chapel and find a monk named Hermes. You must solve a series of puzzles to figure out how to save your land!
The biggest puzzles revolve around creating potions. I never found amanita mushrooms, one of the ingredients, so I likely missed the best ending. But I managed to brew two of the others.
I enjoy games that have two worlds, and this game does that. The pixel art is interesting. The only thing that was grating was the slow fake 'loading' the emulator does every screen. Yes, I remember playing games in the 90s where the PC would chug and slowly load each screen. It was nostalgic the first 50 times. But as the game goes on it certainly loses its charm!
Apparently there's a way to win the game in one move, which is interesting!

Thanks for playing and for the review. It was great of you to play despite the language barrier.
Your comment about loading times caught my attention. I looked it up and it's possible to disable loading times on emulators. For Caprice, the option is called "fast loading". For Crocods, there's an "advanced/turbo" option. I'll add the information to the itch page :)
I will probably do an English translation in the next few months.
