p>Inspired by the Broken Sword series, the title is a point-and-click adventure game with a camera showing locations from first-person perspective. Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure was developed by one person - Fabrice Breton, a French developer working for the one-man company COWCAT. In addition to drawing on the idea created by Revolution Software, the artist also refers in his work to such classics of the genre as Discworld (humor), Gabriel Knight: The Sins of the Fathers (comic cut-scenes, dialogues complemented by the image of the talking characters' heads) and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (the examining of locations from the first-person view).

Story

The main character if the game is Bjorn Thonen, a round-up antique trader living in Paris. When he returns home once after a night sip, he discovers that his apartment has been robbed. Forced to act, Bjorn investigates the causes of the burglary, assisted by a neighbor named Sandra. In this way, the adventure begins, which will lead our heroes in the footsteps of a mysterious conspiracy.

Mechanics

Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure is a point-and-click adventure gaem, in which the mainstay of action is deducing and solving puzzles related to the plot of the game. The locations are shown from FPP, and any dialogues between the characters are displayed at the bottom of the screen, where they are accompanied by the heads of the interlocutors. It looks very similar to showing conversations in a visual novel, which the author himself likes to refer to. The gameplay is also accompanied by various types of mini-games.

Technical aspects

The visuals were prepared manually and in high resolution so that all locations look neat and elegant. A total of fifteen thousand dialogue lines have been prepared for the game. The whole thing was created using GameMaker Studio, which makes it easy to create programs in 2D.
