About the Story

«Oohhh….»
Vous vous relevez difficilement. Votre dos vous fait un mal de chien, et votre tête ? Vous avez l'impression que votre crâne a servi il y a peu de bilboquet ou d'enclume, parce que votre tête vous fait atrocement souffrir.
Qu'est-ce que vous fichez là, allongé à même le sol ?
Attendez…
Oui, ça vous revient maintenant.
Vous êtes venu rendre visite à votre ancien mentor, le professeur Charles Autmate. Il y a quelques jours à peine, une missive signée de sa main vous était parvenue. Le professeur vous pressait de le rejoindre à son laboratoire privé. Il venait de faire une découverte «qui allait révolutionner la physique moderne, sinon : le monde»...

A wordplay give-and-take game in French, April 3, 2025
Related reviews: about 2 hours

This was quite a difficult French IFComp game for me to finish, as it's a wordplay game and involves several words that I don't know well.

It's a (mostly) one-room game where you arrive at an old professor friend's lab to find yourself locked inside! All that you have with you are the random objects that you can scrounge up as well as the professor's amazing machine that can manipulate letters.

The main rules are that you can take away one letter from an object (which transforms the object) and you can apply that letter to another object. You can only ever store up one letter at a time.

While the main story is a little thin, the setting is amusing and has a lot of nice little details. Though of course hard for me as a non-native speaker, the wordplay was fun, and there are help commands like 'penser' that are a real lifesaver.

The game is not too long, with 3 or so main puzzles to get through and a few sidequests you can do.

If you like wordplay and French, this is a great game for you.
