Good for exploring...or studying French renaissance.
The game features an interesting gameplay. The game takes place on a single day divided in acts. Each act takes place in a different part of the castle where you will pick up objects like keys, messages, candles and speak to certain members of the royal court by choosing certain phrases. Unfortunately, you will spend more time listening to their conversations which bring nothing to resolving the game but are rather there to teach some history.
The graĥic and sound are pretty ordinary. The classical music will get repetitive as you will spend hours in the same areas because some objects can be VERY difficult to find and will involve much clicking. The graphics for the castle are quite nice and realistic but they should have taken more time making the people who appear like plastic dolls.
Despite certain long and boring aspects, this game will keep you busy for hours. If you enjoy exploration and picking up keys, I suggest you try Versailles.
