Ekphrasis

Ekphrasis is very long and packed with stuff. Every screen has a large background image on which photos of NPCs appear and disappear.

You play a French art history expire who is a mix of Hercules Poirot and Indiana Jones. You chase clues around Europe as you chase an ancient treasure.

I completed the majority of the game before losing my save. This game is so big I just can't imagine going back through all of that, so I doubt I will finish it.

There are a couple of romances, a lot of excitement, and a lot of difficult puzzles.

Strongly recommended for Francophones.
