About the game

Paris, 1894. Class differences and pervasive racism finally lead to a tragedy. A year later you find yourself on trial, accused of a brutal murder. How far will you go to exonerate yourself? Will you lie? Manipulate the evidence? Frame others? Act insane? Confess? Your imagination is the limit.

Now, I have decided to complete every game in my library, or at least taste it. So, the taste was...peculiar. A hidden gem, or a half-made project? In fact, it's both, The whole idea, the whole gameplay loop is very unique. It's not living through the...
