About This Game The Spiritual. The Supernatural. The Skeptical. All are touched upon in Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy. The player is immortalized as a profiler of sorts in this treasure hunt game - a brilliantly vivid historical rendition of the acclaimed quatrains of Nostradamus. The adventure begins in the South of France as Salon-de-Provence, and its Royal Family fall prey to unfathomable terrors. You play as Madeleine de Nostradame, the daughter of the famous astrologer, author and apothecary as she hunts down an assassin who uses astrology to disguise his crimes as fearsome prophecies. But when past, present and the uncertain future collide…your more logical nature may turn superstitious. 1075eedd30 Title: Nostradamus: The Last ProphecyGenre: Adventure, CasualDeveloper:MicroidsPublisher:MicroidsRelease Date: 24 Apr, 2014 Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy Download Windows 8.1 Seems that there's a bug on the mac version, there's no way to exit the dialogue when nostradamus should apply the coloring cream.. so mac players: dont buy. Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy was made by a group of french developers who were related to Cryo the company that created Atlantis The lost Tales in 1997. This game was made in 2007 ~ so it was a welcome back to some great puzzles and game things that were missing at that time. The game doesn't have high production values and that shows especially today after 10 years, but still what keeps my interest in this game now and kept it long time ago when i played it for the first time was the game mechanics. This game has a story of course (it is not only puzzles) there are many dialogs and there is story development to be found, suspense and murder along the way, but the main thing about this game was its puzzles (most of them, not all) wich are, interestingly @fun@ (who would knew!) something that other adventure games lack some times (many times).Of course, that depends largely on what you consider fun as a puzzle, but if you are interested in playing as madeleine, daughter of nostradamus, in the XVI century france, making potions , food and weird concotions at the laboratory and then drawing astrological charts, writing predictions based on natal charts and looking at constellations to find hidden clues to a murder(s) then i think you will like it. The game, as a said, gives you in several parts of the game receipts to prepare all sorts of things ranging from making bread (!) preapring tea, to preparing aphrodisiac and then making a mold key or even make up. All is fun and well done and you have many of the ingredients in you lab, but some of them you will have to go and look for them. In other parts of the game you go to Nostradamus observatory and look to the stars or use one of his contraptions to make predictions and birth charts. Some of them are intuitive and some of them are not (there are a few obscure puzzles there) but you always have the option to use a walkthrough if you are stuck) The game has many environmental and action puzzles, meaning doing things related to a scene. Of course you investigate crime scene(s) and you have your hour glass thingy, and you scalpel, and tweezer and all the renaissance detectives tools you could wish for (and you will use them, each one of them)The third and most interesting thing about this game was the role played by madeleine (the main character in this game)She is a woman from the XVI century and as such she is not given the same allowance to do things as his brother, cesar, so, when a murder is comitted in the royal court and nostradamus is called to investigate but he is not able to go because of his deteriorating health, he sends his daughter dress as man (madeleine's brother) so as to allow her to investigate and do all necesary things to solve the mistery. And far from being a gender thing (wich it is of course) the character uses her disguise as a man to investigate and meet some characters, but also changes to be dressed as a woman (as herlself) to take advantage of that in certain situations. So, instead of taking a solemn approach and making it a gender thing only, and showing up as a victim herself, on the contrary the main character, madeleine, plays around its limitations that society puts on her because of being a woman in the XVI century and instead she takes advantage of that and plays around it and takes advantage of all the characters around her, as a woman and as a man, making it a true androgynous character, wich is refreshing in a way, and also takes courage to do so in a game. But, anyway, thats not the main point of the game (allthough you are crossdressing from beginning to almost the end, when you cover is off) but the main story is the murder of someone in the court of the queen wich is related to an old prophecy nostradamus wrote , and off you go to investigate that and work with nostradamus across several days.The end of the story, its a little rushed and could have been a little more developed, but it serves the story right and all is completed, one way or the other. The expression of all the characters in this game, its a little lacking...especially for that few moments where important things happens, but again, its a game from 2007, and a low budget one at that, so you can't ask for a fully developed graphical experience here. What you will get instead its a game full of things to do, obects and ingredients to get , many potions to prepare, a lot of crossdressing to take advantage of and a good amount of astrological drawings and birth charts to make along the way.. An absolute gem of a find. Though many may be turned away by the chunky graphics, this is a game that has really captured the true experience of a well made and thoughtful point-and-click adventure game. The voice acting is well done, the graphics (though blocky) are still pleasing to the eye, and the storyline is top notch.The puzzles range from simple recipies to weight distribution to complex translation of old celtic to french. Though you may find yourself doing many crafting puzzles, they are balanced thoughout the game and not used as a crutch, but as a way of transitioning the player from one objective to the next. The only issue I had with the game was that several timed puzzles and one particular quick-time event left me frustrated. It is important to save and save often. Other than that, this game was one of the most thought provoking and inviting point-and-click games I have ever played. Being a history buff, I would love to see more games like this, perhaps with characters from William Shakespeare plays. I would recommend anyone who wants a true adventuring experience like Myst to check this out.. Good game, surely not easy.Puzzles: Some easy, some hard, some extremely clunky. Potion mix puzzles are fun, the timed multi-one in the end not. EXTREMELY easy to remain stuck for a while on a puzzle. Some are even in your diary (and are story related too).Music: Okay but a little repetitive, near the end you miss some music variation.Story: Quite linear with no distraction, good plot.Graphics: Not excellent but acceptable, little amount of character encountered on the story AND mediocre voice acting.Bugs and glitch: I haven't encountered anyone, but a lot of people have, some even gamebreaking.Final vote: 6\/10 A decent puzzle game worth the time to play it but you would maybe prefer to buy in on discount.. An adventure placed in an interesting historical setting, with an entertaining story and puzzles that make sense.What I like most about this game (and other games of the same developers) is the combination of a 360\u00b0 view with point&click gameplay. This makes for a very nice experience, and it's a pity that there aren't many games like this.. The parts of the game that I was able to play weren't bad. I hit the cosmic return puzzle, and am unable to progress further due to a bug. (Some people have had luck manually changing their window size to correct this, but I'm uninspired enough to bother at this point.)The atmosphere is well done, and the story is pretty good. The puzzles are fairly easy to solve if you've seen all your clues and understand how your tools work. While I can't reccomend this game, picking it up on sale might be worth giving it a try.. As far as point and click games go, I enjoyed it. While the plot was a little... contrived, I did like the theming.Good:For the most part the puzzles were enjoyable. My favorite part was the potion brewing. The enviroments and puzzles are pretty!Your goals are petty straighfoward, and for the most part it's hard to get stuck.Astrology! Alchemy! Potions! Stars!Bad:Timed puzzles. Those are a sick and cruel joke.Sometimes it felt like you were relying on dear ol' dad's help too much.Meh to stiff voice acting. Controls can cause motion sickness.
