About this game

Episode 1 - Paris in the spring

Shots ring out from a gallery… a robbery… a murder… and the beginning of another epic, original Broken Sword adventure.

From multi-award winning Revolution comes the latest mystery in this much loved adventure-puzzle series. Playing as intrepid American George Stobbart and sassy French journalist Nico Collard, you find yourself on the trail of a stolen painting – and a murderous conspiracy. A conspiracy whose roots lie in mysteries older than the written word…

Armed only with logic, integrity and a wry sense of humor - can George and Nico save mankind from disaster? Can you solve the secret of the Serpent’s Curse? A curse some say was forged by the Devil himself…

✪ The latest in the smash hit multi-million selling Broken Sword series
✪ Gripping story, engaging puzzles, voiced by a top quality cast
✪ Highly acclaimed 'slide and tap' interface – simple but hugely powerful
✪ Context-sensitive help system – access hints to solve even the hardest puzzles

Game seems great, just like the old school ones BUT I'm having a major issue. When downloading further assets after the games opening it always and I do mean always gets stuck at 366.60mb. it will not go any further no matter what i do. Uninstall, reinstall, clear cache. I've tried them all and still nothing. Once this is sorted this would be a 5* game in my eyes because 1 and 2 are among the best game ever made imo.

Beautifully crafted by the masters at Revolution Software. It truly captures what made the original Broken Sword an unforgetful experience - unique characters, art style, story and plot. It is a shame the game is short and would have loved to see more of it as I know once it's over, sadly you would have to wait a very long time as I have waited since Broken Sword 2 came out in 1997. Every scene is beautifully crafted and puzzles will keep you engaged. A MUST BUY!

Stuck due to having a large screen. The screen isn't calibrated proper and is cropping the bottom part of the image off so I can't see the lower row of numbers on the CCTV screen in Henri's office and therefore can't progress. I also struggled to interact with Henri's body in the gallery as I could see was his foot! Any way of forcing the game to 16:9 rather than fullscreen?
