The Last Prophecy (mystery and puzzles)
by Love_for_forever Thu Apr 03, 2008 2:05 pm
« Nostradamus - The Last Prophecy » is set in
16th century Provence, in a country ravaged by religious wars and
devastated by the plague.
It has been three years since Catherine de Médicis' rule as regent
came to an end, but she still holds the reins of power, making her the
target of repeated attacks from the French nobility. One day in March
1566, when she realises that she has fallen victim to a terrible curse,
she turns to her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame, better
known as Nostradamus.
Unfortunately, the famous prophet is too old and weak to take on
such a mission alone. Refusing to abandon his queen in her hour of
need, he sends his daughter Madeleine in his place. However, there is
no such thing as women astrologers, let alone women doctors in medieval
times. To be accepted as such, the young woman must go in disguise and
assume her younger brother's identity, César, who is away for some
time.
Alternating between Madeleine the young woman and Madeleine
disguised as César, players are plunged into a thriller where political
scheming and ancestral prophecies are intertwined. The game begins as
an initiatory adventure in the footsteps of her father, the prophet and
astrologer, before creating all the suspense of a detective novel: from
one murder to another, players make their way through a test-riddled
forensic investigation.
Following in the same vein as « The Secrets of Da Vinci - The
Forbidden Manuscript© », « Nostradamus - The Last Prophecy » is an
historical adventure game in which players have to solve a series of
riddles and puzzles inspired by the works of Nostradamus, taking them
through the worlds of astrology, medicine and medicinal plants.
Though the game does not offer two fundamentally different paths,
“transforming” the main character gives players a unique alternative by
allowing them to assume another identity, change sex (their appearance
in any case) and use it to their advantage when interacting with other
characters.
Be the one to stop the last prophecy of Nostradamus!
The major adventure game of the year: the first game about the life
and works of Nostradamus giving players the opportunities the hidden
enigmas of his prophecies!
A fascinating and risky investigation into a series of murder aiming at
the Royal Family, which will give to the player the role of profiler
before his time.
An arsenal of machiavelic puzzles and enigmas based on Astrology, but also Alchemy, Pharmacy and runic symbols.
Splendid photo-realistic graphics allowing players to travel in the
Provence of the Renaissance, and to discover precisely the
reconstituted world of Nostradamus.
Progressive degrees of difficulty as well as intuitive handling allow new players to get rapidly up to speed in the adventure.
An entirely French development team, who have contributed to the
success of the best adventure games (« Atlantis », « Versailles », «
Egypt » and « The Secrets of Da Vinci ») [/center]
Nostradamus (1503 - 1566)
At 62 years old, Nostradamus feels like a tired old man who knows
that his end is drawing near. He is an apothecary, a medical doctor and
an astrologer who has wrestled all his life against the numerous
outbreaks of the plague which ravaged France in the 16th century. He
has also had to fight against all those who accuse him of heresy or
who, jealous of his success, try unrelentingly to discredit him. Even
though he is worn out, he still maintains his integrity. He in no way
deserves the label of magician or sorcerer that has often been applied
to him. This is the man that Queen Catherine comes to visit in March
1566.
The discovery of a curious, small stone several weeks earlier
coincides with a worsening of Nostradamus' health and prevents him from
responding to Catherine de Medici's plea, in spite of the fact that he
has been her astrologer for many years.
This is why he sends his elder daughter Madeleine in his place.
He has always felt that a special destiny awaited Madeleine and
because he sees much of himself in her, he undertakes, in spite of his
frail health, to do whatever he can to help her.[/center]
