🌍️ Wikipedia:

Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure is a point-and-click adventure game for the Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux platforms. It is set to be released for PlayStation Vita in late 2016. The game was developed and published by the independent French studio COWCAT Games and was released on May 31, 2016. It features hand drawn art and is the first commercial release by Fabrice Breton.

Plot

One night Bjorn Thonen, an antique dealer from Paris, is robbed after coming home drunk. A certain stone tablet was stolen and Bjorn is forced to conduct his own investigation. He gets help from his neighbor Sandra and her daughter Caroline. They travel to the fictional country of Nogo where they learn more about the tablet and the ancient legends about King Demetrios. They have to find all stone tablets in order to save the world.

Gameplay

The player has to solve puzzles and find objects to advance in the game. Some objects can be combined and have to be used in certain places to advance. The player can also interact with other characters and choose among some dialog options and show them collected items. With the help of a map, the player can travel to different locations to find clues

Development

Between 1999 and 2001, Fabrice Breton already created the first prototype of the game, which was never released. In 2014, he began working on the remake, which was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in October 2015 with the game receiving 4,245 € surpassing the goal of 2,500 €.[1] It was developed with GameMaker: Studio. The game is inspired by adventure game classics such as Broken Sword, Discworld and Phoenix Wright. Although being developed by a French studio, the game was written in English first and later translated into French, Spanish, German, and Italian.

💡️ Commentaires généraux:
Le studio est parvenu à lever les fonds nécessaire sur le site Kickstarter, le jeu est à présent disponible à la vente.

Kickstarter est un site de sponsoring de projets permettant - en ce qui concerne les jeux, aux joueurs et aux développeurs de financer le développement de jeux sans le carcan des maisons d'édition. Les studios obtiennent le pré-financement de leur production, les joueurs bénéficient d'avantages proportionnels au montant de leur participation (tarif avantageux, personnalisations, ...) sans garantie de résultat.

Date de sortie :
Financement bouclé début Novembre 2015 (4K$ sur Kickstarter).
Le jeu est sorti le 31 Mai 2015 (dans les temps : bravo !)
