1-2 of 2 First part of an escape game, February 27, 2024Le Manoir Abandonné is a multi-episode escape game based on the LucasArt game Maniac Mansion, imitating with its images the point-n-click feel. This review will only account for the 1st part.
Starting the game with a prologue, the prose plays on horror tropes with the sudden breakdown of your car and that manor looming in the distance as your only place to find potential help, taking a witty approach to those. Once inside the manor (you really have no choice, no matter the other options), the doors shockingly close behind you, leaving you stuck inside the building. Starts then the escape-game portion.
In this first part, you get to interact with the "front" part of the house: a large and luxurious hall and a handful connected but locked doors. Some of the rooms are quite freaky, down to the more obvious horror elements (like blood on the wall).
The game allows you to explore this section of the manor, examine items lying around, and manipulate them through a list of options. There are a handful of puzzles, which are fairly well hinted, even with the curveballs it tries to throw at you. The thing that took the longest was trying out the different keys on the different doors (lots of back and forth).
While I got to the end of the section, which is fairly abrupt, there was still one locked door that stayed locked, even after solving the main puzzle.
Looking forward to play the second section!
Une petite pépite, February 26, 2024Le Manoir Abandonné partie 1 est un jeu d'énigme très bien réalisé, imitant le fonctionnement d'un point and click à la perfection.
Le jeu sert d'introduction pour le Manoir Abandonné et les mystères qu'il renferme. La fin nous met dans une situation qui sera résolue dans la seconde partie sans que cela ne semble artificiel.
