ABOUT THE GAME

Find food for chickens
The first errand is to feed the chickens. When he examines the garden bowl, he finds that it is empty of grain, so he goes to the attic to look for it. The objects and destinations mentioned in the text provide clues for the next action.
Act on French commands
Enter the verb and object, such as "examiner jatte" and press Enter. The exit direction is also written in the location description, and you can move by commands such as "nord".
Another time that overlaps in the house
Early on, there is a scene where you go up to the attic and a garden appears, and you meet Johannes as a child. Not only the location but also the time shown at the top will change.
