Gameplay

Plot

The game takes place in March 1566, in Salon-de-Provence, France, when the court of King Charles IX is touring France. His mother, Catherine de Medici, who is the victim of strange curse, lost power 3 years previously. She decides to pay a visit to her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame, better known as Nostradamus, but he is too fatigued to help her. It is his daughter Madeleine, under the false identity of her brother César, who offers her services to the queen mother. The player alternates between Madeleine's true self or disguised as César, depending on the situation to search through political scheming and ancestral prophecies.

Development

Reception

The PC version received above-average reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [2] Emily Balistrieri of IGN wrote that the game wouldn't appeal to the player if they didn't feel like learning about astrology. [9]
