A truly clever concept with some rocky implementation, March 3, 2020
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This murder mystery is fairly compact and has some intriguing characters. It also has extra-fancy design. It's written in Ink, and works by clicking text (with links not receiving any special formatting).

It has lovely images of the murder suspects, whom you can learn about one at a time. You play a police commissioner (I think?) attending the 'big reveal' of a professional detective.

Slow-text didn't really work for me (and I never really like to see it), although it contributes in a minor way to the overall puzzle. I was also confused by the fact that sometimes the same action would result in me being called an 'imbecile' while at later times in the same playthrough it would work. After seeing the solution, I think I get it, but I'm not sure that was a good design decision.

Overall, the French IFComp continues to lead the IF world in technical innovation. I'm excited to see what comes out next year.

Une seule énigme, mais elle est bien !, February 5, 2020

Jeu avec une chouette ambiance, bien que classique ; j'apprécie le fait que Hercule Poirot soit imbuvable et que nous incarnions l'inspecteur, pour une fois. On se rend vite compte de ce qui se passe, et je donne à ce jeu le point d'utilisation du thème. Je suis resté bloqué un moment car je cherchais le chien, mais (Spoiler - click to show)il semblerait que ça soit une frustration de la part de l'auteur ; bien joué !. J'ai fini par trouver la solution de l'(unique) énigme en continuant à réfléchir, et une fois l'avoir trouvée, tout était bien plus clair : (Spoiler - click to show)pourquoi les liens ne sont pas mis en évidence, et pourquoi l'auteur a fait référence au chien - pour nous induire en erreur et nous faire oublier qu'il manquait une personne de plus. Un bon divertissement d'une vingtaine de minutes. La présentation est chouette, mais j'aurais vraiment aimé plus de place pour le texte ; il est coincé dans une boîte en bas de l'écran, certains paragraphes sont mal formatés, et il défile rapidement, ce qui n'est pas très lisible.
