Nice adventure game in french only, by Narkhos.

 "Your village is struck by a strange curse: people gradually lose their free will and end up remaining prostrate until they die. Go on an adventure to discover the origins of this evil and save your people."

Lovely style! Hope they do a translation so it reaches more people! 

[Jean-Marie]

Really enthralling, but I'm stuck now! I managed to cook a potion of luminosity, but where must we drink it ? Help!

[Jean-Marie]

I got unstucked, and... stucked again ! I need to cook a sleeping potion, but I can't understand the recipe. 

[XeNoMoRPH]

I tried, but I got stuck quickly haha

Hi there,

I'm the creator of the game. I just saw that some people downloaded the game today, I was curious and found it comes from here.
Thank you for trying the game despite the language barrier ^^.
I'm planning to translate it into English, but I don't want to rush into it. It shouldn't just be a Google translation.
To make the sleeping potion,

you have to understand how to "transpose" a recipe. You have an example in the book

[Jean-Marie]

Congratulations for this game ! It is well-crafted and captivating, and very reminiscent of other famous french adventure games of the eighties. And the graphics are absolutely gorgeous.
For the sleeping potion, I know I must transpose the vitality recipe, but I fail🤔
I'll try again later.

I can give some clue if needed, but I'm sure you will succeed

[Jean-Marie]

Ah! Success   It was not that difficult after all.

Great!

Just finished with the "good" ending, and that was really excellent 
A bit challenging sometimes, but that's a good thing : it feels satisfying to overcome difficulties.
I need to play it again to find out about the alternate endings. And I still need to find the mushrooms for the Dawn & Dusk potions.

Thanks! It's nice to ear

Nice! Let me know when you unlock all the endings

Did anyone test this on a real CPC? On mine it crashed after the loading after "pressez Entrée". I'm using Unidos.

[Narkhos]

The game is working on my cpc 6128. I don't know what difference it can make to use Unidos. Maybe you can try to launch the binary directly by typing run"main instead of run"disc?
I did not specify it, but the game need 128ko to run if this information can help

Edit: I installed Unidos on Caprice emulator and I reproduce your issue. It seems that some data are missing in memory and/or are not at the same place. Maybe the memory banks are not managed the same way with Unidos? I must investigate on this, but I'm not sure to be able to fix it.

[Targhan]

Still the same result. I guess that's because your game goes very high in memory, and having a few roms will prevent it from loading.

[Narkhos]

You're probably right. I struggled to make my program fit in memory. I Changed some addresses several times during developpement to have more space for the main program. Maybe it collide with some memory used by the roms. 

[dodogildo]

Nice cute graphics! I missed this style after the photo-scanned badly-dithered graphics infected adventure games lately. 

[Narkhos]

Nice cute graphics!

Thank you!

I think I understand what append. I managed to make it work with unidos on caprice emulator.
Basically, the asm function to load files that I'm using loads all the roms (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Programming:An_example_loader). I modified it so it initialize amsdos rom only (assuming it's on rom 7, so it probably don't work for all unidos configurations but it's a good starting point).

I published a new version with the patch (version 0.8.1). If you give it a try, let me know if it works for you

[Jean-Marie]

I have found two endings only.
I surmise that I need the amanites to cook a dawn potion (and maybe its transposé).
I searched everywhere, to no avail 

[Narkhos]

Gg finding the fourth ending!
Did you try to use the whistle without the scepter ?
That said, you don't need the amanites for the third ending, you just need to obey the creator

[Jean-Marie]

Did you try to use the whistle without the scepter ?

No. I'm gonna try that ! Thanks for the hints 

[Jean-Marie]

Ok, thanks. Only the 3rd one remains to be found ! I have to give the matter thought 🤔

[Jean-Marie]

Just found the 3d ending!

frappe moi sceptre

Hope there will be a sequel 

[Narkhos]

Hope there will be a sequel 

Gg! I can't promize it but I had fun making the game. If not a sequel, probably a game in the same spirit. But I have to work on an English translation first
