ABOUT THE GAME

A huge castle repair shop,
Move with the words you input.

The main character is a craftsman who fixes problems in a castle that is so large that you can't see the end of it. When I finished my work and was about to return to my room, my servant asked me to make some final repairs. In this work, you enter actions such as searching, taking, and speaking in French, and proceed while reading the text of the scene.

01

Combine verb and object

Write commands for the actions you want to take, such as "ouvrir porte (open the door)" and "prendre pomme (pick the apple)." Unlike the multiple-choice format, input is based on the objects and people that appear in the text.

02

Dark fantasy read from the perspective of a repair shop

The stage is a huge old and damp castle. The lives of people living in a fantasy world are depicted through the daily work and complaints of the main character. You can enjoy the pixel art of the scene along with the text.

03

The wording can also be a clue

We also use informal French words such as "zieuter" (to look around) for commands. A hint when you get stuck is "cogiter". Vocabulary and reading sentences are a big part of exploration.

PLAY NOTES

Starting procedure
Select "Play In-Browser" from "Run game" on the official page. Proceed with the installation using Space and enter "lire papier" in the first hallway to read the operation instructions.
Language
Both the text and the input instructions are in French. This is not a work that requires instructions in Japanese. The verb and subject name must be read.
Auxiliary command
``zieuter'' is a command to look around, and ``cogiter'' is a command to think of a hint. First, read the instructions on paper to see examples of phrasing.
Estimated time
The official guideline is approximately 1 hour. If you're researching French while reading, give yourself plenty of time.
Become a castle repair shop

From the paper in the hallway,
Find your next move.
