Thematic Relevance
We attempted to retell the Reign of Terror in France through the perspective of a French adolescent trying to escape the city. We studied the architecture, clothing, and overall themes of Paris (and its people) in this time period.

Wow, this game looks amazing! Very atmospheric. The music is also really nice. :3
We were missing a bit of the background to the actions we were doing, though.
A mesmerizing stroll through historical Paris. This short, side-scrolling game recreates the era's architecture and ambiance, immersing the player in the chaos of the context. The coherent and researched art style sometimes resembles paintings in motion, with a strong sense of composition. Though brief, the experience leaves a lasting impression, evoking the tension of escape amidst the Reign of Terror's turmoil.
Will come back when you release the next version :)
Looks and sounds great. Well done
Nice work with the model and setting the atmosphere! After a few attempts, I was unable to make it past the first guard, however xd
