• Press 3 to check Supporting evidences.

Evidence – Graphology Expertise

• You have to find the hotel guest book – it is available in the hotel, but first you have to rent a room, and then lure the clerk out of the reception. Another option is to wait till 10.45 p.m., when the clerk is gone.

Evidence – The letter from the Ministère de la Justice

• You can find it in the mailbox, which is located on the ground floor of your building.

Evidence – Alfred Ethon’s Journal

• You can find it on the desk in your secret workshop.

Evidence – Marie Capet’s right glove

• You can find it under the door to your apartment, but only if Marie Capet attacked you earlier.

Evidence – Marie Capet’s left glove

• You can find it on the boxes in Marie Capet’s room in Monsieur Brissot’s apartment, but you can pick it up only if you have the right glove.

Evidence – The book from Marie Capet’s room

• You can find it on the bedside table in Marie Capet’s room in Monsieur Brissot’s apartment.

Evidence – Newspaper clippings from Capet’s room

• You can find them hanging on the wall in Marie Capet’s room in Monsieur Brissot’s apartment.

Evidence – The letter to Marie Capet

• You can find it in the bedside table in Marie Capet’s room in Monsieur Brissot’s apartment.

Evidence – Suitcase with money

• You can find it under the desk in the hotel room, but you have to rent the room first.
• If you don’t take it, it will be available later in the game in the same room, but you will have to kill Marie Capet to take the suitcase.
• This evidence will be unlocked in the Evidence Menu when you have the letter to Marie Capet.

Evidence – The letter to Albert Brissot

• You can find it on the desk in Monsieur Brissot’s apartment.

Evidence – The letter from the law firm

• It’s unlocked automatically during a cut-scene.
• To unlock the cut-scene you have to enter the hotel after 10.05 p.m.

Evidence – Hugo Argent’s tesimony #3

• It’s unlocked automatically during a cut-scene on the second day.
• To unlock the cut-scene you have to enter the hotel after 10.05 p.m., be transferred to the prison, and use the bed.

Evidence – Antoine Ethon’s testimony

• It’s unlocked automatically during a cut-scene on the second day, but only if you have unlocked the Graphology Expertise.
• To unlock the cut-scene you have to enter the hotel after 10.05 p.m., be transferred to the prison, and use the bed.

The String of Events and time

• Press Q to open or close the String of Events according to the prosecution.

• Hold Space on each event to see a hint.
• The string of events includes 6 events. The first one is not important, but you should always remember about the remaining five.
• Ignoring the events won’t end well for you. Most of them will happen even if you decide to ignore them, and in some cases the judge can tell that you are lying – for example when you talk to the clerk at a different time than that resulting from his testimony. Also by ignoring the events you can loose a chance to get some of the evidences.
• During your testimony try to plan your line of defense according to the String of Events (press Q), and a current time (press T).

• Time in the game runs like in real-life. It means that 15 minutes of going around and watching antiques will move the in-game time for 15 minutes.
• If you have to wait for a certain event to happen, you don’t have to stand still, doing nothing – you can use one of the objects allowing you to skip the in-game time.

Judge will remember this

• Sometimes during the game you can see „Judge will remember this” on the screen. It means that judge’s trust towards you has changed.
• In some cases you don’t have to unlock an additional evidence if you gained enough judge’s trust – he will believe your words. For example – if you want to prove that Marie Capet wanted to rob you, you must have the letter from her room (judge won’t believe that she wanted to rob you without this evidence, no matter how much he trusts you), but you don’t have to unlock the suitcase with money (as a payement for the service) if you gained a lot of judge’s trust – he will believe you on this. Why? Because this evidence is not as important as the letter is.

Easter eggs and references

Below you can find a list of all easter eggs and references from the game.

• Alfred Ethon – The main character is a ♥♥♥♥♥ brought up in a poor family of shopkeepers. He invented the Shopping Vendor and even went a step further. He found an investor and in turn set up a company called Le Feu. His name derives from Alfred Dreyfus, the character of the famous scandal in the late 19th century. The surname Ethon is one of the versions of the name of the vulture/eagle, which according to Greek mythology ate Prometheus’ liver.
• Marie Capet – She comes from a poor family, but is very intelligent. She is also disappointed with the fact that she failed to pursue her dream career. She thinks she is better than her schoolmate Alfred Ethon. Her character was inspired by Marie Gabrielle Capet, a French painter from the turn of 18th and 19th century, who had failed to make a career matching her talent. In addition, the Widow Capet is a prison nickname of the beheaded Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France.
• Albert Brissot – Alfred Ethon’s neighbour is a lord from an old, aristocratic family, which unfortunately lost its importance after the French Revolution. Now he is squandering away what is left from his family’s wealth, he has neglected both himself and the house, and is spending most of his time drinking. His name comes from a real French aristocrat Jacques Brissot, a lawyer, politician, philosopher, and one of the leaders of Girondists.
• During your escape from prison you can hear an interrogation inspired by the case of François Claudius Koëningstein (also known as Ravachol) – a french anarchist and a terrorist.

• The game features excellently represented Parisian architecture from the early 19th century. The streets and tenements closely resemble those on the Montmartre hill.
• The design of the courtroom follows that of the real one located in the Paris-based palace of justice (Palais de Justice de Paris) on the island of Ile de la Cite.
• The prison is very much reminiscent of the La Sante prison, built in the mid 19th century in the 14th district of Paris.
• Graffiti on the walls refers to the slogans of the French Revolution, and Paris Commune and calls to kill the rich.
• Indoor posters are authentic French graphics from the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The drawings in Alfred Ethon’s atelier feature the vision of France after 2000 as imagined by graphic artists from the time.
• Shopping vendor – Alfred Ethon’s invention, which operates similarly to today’s online shopping. In many places in Paris there are storehouses to which farmers, bakers, butchers etc. deliver their produce. Each storehouse supports a dozen or so shopping machines. After inserting a coin and choosing the product, it is sent in a special capsule, which is transported to the vendor via a system of pipes. Although the concept is fictional, it is perfectly in line with predictions on the world after 2000 in the times of Bohemians. There are two vendors in the game – in the hotel, and in the hallway of your building. You can also find a said pipe in your basement.
• Technology in the game is based on „Paris in the Twentieth Century” by Jules Verne.

• In the game we will find many references to the so called Dreyfus affair, i.e. the case of a French officer wrongly accused of and sentenced for treason. The case was a symbol of injustice and rehabilitation, which for 10 years sparked emotions and tormented the conscience of the French society. It also triggered a political and social crisis, leading to major changes in the country. The game is set in the same year as the year of the Dreyfus affair, i.e. 1894. In the courtroom there is a portrait of the then French Prime Minister Charles Dupuy, for whom the Dreyfus affair was the end of career. In the game we can also find copies of Le Petit Journal, a genuine newspaper from the time.

• The main character has a pocket watch on him, with the above latin legal phrase (“It is better to let the crime of the guilty go unpunished than to condemn the innocent”) inscribed on it, which is a motto of the game.

• The law presented in the game is based on real Code pénal de 1810 by Napoleon Bonaparte.
• All forensic science, psychology, and medicine presented in the evidences is authentic, and used in real life.

• The background storyline is based on the myth of Prometheus.
• In the beginning Alfred Ethon was Prometheus – he gave people „fire” (his invention), creating the company „Le Feu” – which means „Flame” or „Fire” in french. In the company’s logo you can see Alfred Ethon holding a torch. The company was also a sponsor of a play based on the myth of Prometheus (you can see posters of this play in the game).
• Thanks to his invention Alfred Ethon became rich, and famous – he became a god, creating a very powerful weapon based on fire.
• After Alfred Ethon became a god, Marie Capet took his place as Prometheus – she stole the fire from god (the designes from his safe).
• Alfred Ethon lives in Mekone street – trick at Mekone was an event in Greek mythology in which Prometheus tricked Zeus for mankind’s benefit, and thus incurred his wrath. Exactely what Marie Capet did by stealing the designes from Alfred Ethon.
• Then Alfred Ethon became the eagle – he killed Prometheus (Marie Capet) by a single blow to her liver. The hotel in which the murder took place is named after the mountain on which the eagle was tormenting Prometheus – Caucasus. Also in the mythology the eagle’s name was Aethon (sometimes written as Ethon).
