11 itemsAbout the Game
Step into the role of a love detective. Marie de Saint-Marc, manager of a matrimonial agency in Paris, must uncover the secrets of her clients and their potential partners to keep her business alive. Each encounter is built as a small puzzle, and every confidence becomes the key to a successful match. The fate of the agency rests as much on your discernment as on your patience.
Paris, 1888
A Paris recreated in an art nouveau style, where every location — the Halles, the boulevards, the Eiffel Tower still under construction — becomes the stage for your sentimental investigations.
Characters from all walks of life, inspired by real historical figures, whose personalities and contradictions enrich the world.
A city in full transformation, where the rise of the great iron tower marks a society changing in profound ways.
Conduct your investigation
An investigation system inspired by the Ace Attorney and Golden Idol series.
Your clients deliberately hide their true intentions. To arrange their marriages properly, you’ll have to reveal who they really are — but beware, time is short…
Separate truth from falsehood by listening carefully, observing their behavior, gathering clues, and confronting them with their lies. Succeed, and the character will change appearance and reveal everything to you.
Whom will you choose?
Shape unions according to the criteria you’ve uncovered during your investigation. Two paths lie before you: a marriage of love, or a marriage of convenience.
Each type of union comes with its own advantages and drawbacks. Discover them, then decide accordingly.
The next client you meet depends on the type of union you selected. Vary your choices to uncover everything the story has to offer.
