Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy

Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy developed by Kheops Studio is a point-and-click adventure game. The events take you, as the daughter of Nostradamus, Madeleine, to the 16th century to investigate the murders and find out if this is really a prophecy about 12 deaths coming true or an evil person helping fate along.

The gameplay is clear and easy to complete: you change a number of locations to find the objects and characters to interact with. The interface makes it simply to navigate your way through the game, and the cursor will change to indicate whether an action is possible, and which type of action may be required. Besides, you have a useful toolkit to zoom the objects or scenes, modify them, or solve puzzles.

We like the storyline, cause it’s rather captivating and developing – you’ll get some information about astrology, France and so on. The graphics is beautiful and polished, music fits greatly, especially orchestra strings that sound in crucial moments! As for puzzles, they are very challengeable, and insert the storyline perfectly, like code interpretation puzzle and others! But be careful, you risk to loose Madeleine in 2 levels f you fail to act quickly enough, and what a pity, you have to redo two puzzles after one of her deaths!

In whole The Nostradamus is a good, logical mystery within a solid historical framework to enjoy!
