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. 6d5b4406ea Title: Nostradamus: The Last ProphecyGenre: Adventure, CasualDeveloper:MicroidsPublisher:MicroidsRelease Date: 24 Apr, 2014 Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy Full Crack [portable Edition] Nostradamus is a point & click adventure where you (or at least your brother) are recruited to investigate a curse that is unfolding based on a quatrain written by Nostradamus himself. Nostradamus, your father, is in his late years now: old, weak, and frail. Since your brother is away, and because of the time period a woman does not seem fit to handle the task, your father sees it best to disguise you as your brother to help the queen's mother solve the mystery of people close to her dying as she is now in fear of her own life.Being a Microids game, the gameplay is quite good with a lot of similarities to Syberia and Return to Mysterious Island. It involves a lot of detective work with very engaging puzzles. The game also provides a good foundation of early astrology and chemistry. Highly enjoyable.. Motion sickness.... Warning if you're the type of person that gets motions sick over games that where you move your 'eyes'\/ view with your mouse this is not the game for you! I'm not sure if it's just the way this game was designed but the way the game moves when you move your mouse is very nausiating. If you can get passed the nauseating part of this games movement it might be fun to play. I wish I could give this to my sister because I just can't play it without getting physically sick! If I'd know this game was set up like you're looking through the main characters eyes I woud not have bought it!. 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.. 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.. The game starts nicely enough, and I must commend the artists who have done an excellent job. The renaissance Italy, full of colors and rich in details, provides an excellent and atmospheric setting for the upcoming adventure. Nostradamus, horoscopes (strangely called "charts" in the game), historical figures, sinister plot threatening the ruling family, all that is very promising and fresh. You can even pose as man or woman according to your wish, and the dialogues play slightly differently, which I found impressive.However, as the game unveils, its quality starts to deteriorate. The translation is not very good, sometimes you wrestle with an odd expression of unclear meaning. There is absolutely minimal amount if animation in the game - a guard extends his arm, woman throws dice, Nostradamus nods and smiles. At one occasion, you talk to a person over a closed door, which no doubt saved the dev team some time and effort. The late game puzzles become infuriating, especially a particular substitution cipher where you must decipher.. a French text, probably because translating the cipher would take too much effort. The characters are barely legible and sometimes similar, for example the character "-" (hyphen) means three different letters. The game also suffers from a split personality disorder. One moment you discover a dead body in a room, and are getting ready to open his personal chest to shed light on his murder, but your character refuses - Nah, probably nothing in there. Just another corpse. Without reporting your find, you are suddenly teleported to your home. Nostradamus listens to your report about the murder and then gives you a very important task - to brew a herbal tea, so that you can sleep better. I run back to the castle in the middle of the night, but the drawbridge was closed. Nobody cares. Another dead body? Old news.The game ends, I imagine, in a moment when the dev team run out of finances, their creditors probably stormed their offices, and started confiscating computer equipment. A duo of artists in the back room decided to quickly conclude the game with a 20 seconds long cutscene that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and that's it, end of story. "You have finished the game with %d points"."%d" is a symbol for numeric value in formatted print. The programmer was probably dragged away by then, so there was nobody to correct the error. What a pity.. Good game, some puzzles take a long time (too long in my opinion) to collect all items and mix etc. Did not like having to replay the crumbling cave scene over 25 times just to get through. Otherwise a decent game wih a fun plot line.
