  • Summary: Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy is set in 16th century Provence, in a country ravaged by religious wars and devastated by the plague. It has been three years since Catherine de Médicis' rule as regent came to an end, but she still holds the reins of power, making her the target of repeated attacks from the French nobility. One day in March 1566, when she realises that she has fallen victim to a terrible curse, she turns to her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame, better known as Nostradamus. Unfortunately, the famous prophet is too old and weak to take on such a mission alone. Refusing to abandon his queen in her hour of need, he sends his daughter Madeleine in his place. However, there is no such thing as women astrologers, let alone women doctors in medieval times. To be accepted as such, the young woman must go in disguise and assume her younger brother's identity, César, who is away for some time. Alternating between Madeleine the young woman and Madeleine disguised as César, players are plunged into a thriller where political scheming and ancestral prophecies are intertwined. The game begins as an initiatory adventure in the footsteps of her father, the prophet and astrologer, before creating all the suspense of a detective novel: from one murder to another, players make their way through a test-riddled forensic investigation.

    You will learn at least a little about astrology by playing this game. If that doesn't interest you, you may be annoyed, but then you are probably not the type inclined to pick up Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy in the first place.
  3. The Last Prophecy? I bloody well hope so.

    Excellent point and click adventure.. The new interface is a treat and the transitions are quick and seamless. Loading times are fast. The story is wonderful along with the voices and music. Very polished. A little short but well done. For people who remember that almost all adventure games were once point and click ie myst series and others will enjpy it completely. Puzzles are not so tough to drive you crazy.. A must for Adventure gamers..Enjoy.. Expand
