A little more funny and deep than you might expect, August 5, 2016(A full review in French is available here.)
The game is very easy and very very short (~5 min, which is normal for a speed-IF), so there is not so much to do; this is why I gave it a low score. However, there are still some good things in it.
Some actions produce random messages which are well written and funny, so you'll do them several time to see all the responses.
The protagonist has more background than you would expect. His life is described in a single paragraph, but a well written one, that manages to create a believable world, even if not original (a mediocre magician is in love with a powerful sorceress and so on).
I think it's still worth playing, because it's so short it'll hardly be a waste of time.
Puzzleless, but immersive and with a excellent ending, August 5, 2016(A full review in French is available here)
You'll spend a lot of time reading in this game, in fact there is almost nothing to do except reading the e-mails of the protagonist. The e-mail system is however well implemented, with the text appearing in real-time. Some might not like it (in fact I don't like when I cannot read at my own pace either), but it wasn't troublesome here because it really helped immersion.
And the game is immersive indeed. The state of mind of the protagonist is well retranscribed and you can feel her feelings. The game is well written too.
I found the end really amazing, though I cannot explain why without spoiling. If you like a game with a good atmosphere, you'll like this game. If you prefer "real" games, you should still give it a try, but you'll like it less.
Short, funny, and very well implemented, June 12, 2016(A full review in French is available here)
For a small game initially written in 2 hours, it is quite complete : multiple endings, a rudimentary spell system… It is also very well implemented (one of the best French game in that category). I had fun redoing the game to see each ending and to have the maximum score. There are some jokes and funny situations, too.
Sadly, the endings are a bit arbitrary: there is no way to know if you'll get the good one or not because you didn't take this or that. The game is quite short, however, so it's not that much of a problem.
Not everyone will like the theme (courting a princess in fantasy city), and it is not the best IF, but it remains a must-play according to me, at least as an example of a well made game.
Not perfect, but funny and entertaining, May 22, 2016(A full review in French is available here)
In this IF, you have to finish some kind of machine, and your geek friends left different plans for it. The story doesn't go farther than that, but it's fun replaying to find all the endings (finding the "good" one isn't really the aim here).
The game is really funny and full of jokes about geeks, and is worth playing only for that reason according to me. I often found myself smiling.
Sadly, it could be better implemented: some items are missing or hard to find because they are hardly mentionned. The French typography is also not respected. Fortunately, the fun is still here and I think this IF is one of the best in French, at leadt in the humour genre.
