'Le Manoir de Mortevielle'

[AMI / CPC / DOS / ST] [FRANCE] [MAGAZINE, BANNER] [1988]

"Right from the start, this game dazzles both your eyes and your ears. The graphics are perfectly conceived and executed, based on digitized images that have been meticulously reworked. While digitized images can often be disappointing, the designers here possessed the intelligence—and the good taste—to rework them by modifying lines and colors. The result is a complete triumph. The sound effects are also digitized, and the game actually speaks to you while a transcription of the dialogue appears on screen. The audio quality—while not extraordinary—is entirely sufficient for clear comprehension. If you happen to miss a snippet of dialogue, pressing the F8 key replays the message. (…)Will you be able to uncover what transpired at Mortville Manor in the days leading up to your arrival? The game calls upon your common sense, powers of observation, and deductive reasoning. Certain brief phrases that appear between screens are not as innocent as they seem—certainly less so, at any rate, than the hooting of the great horned owl in the park's fir trees, which sends a chill down the spine of a city-dweller like yourself! The game won the Tilt d'Or award from Canal+, and it was richly deserved." ~PCompatibles Informatique (April 1989, #24) [BMT🤖]
