If anyonbe is playing this game I need help. I need to arrange the books in the library but cannot figure it out.

I can't find any hints/tips/walkthrough for this game at all. Maybe someone else here will know more.

I haven't been able to find anything either -- even at YouTube, which is usually fairly reliable for playthroughs. Let's wait and see if another member has played and is familiar with the book puzzle.

I did a little bit of research, as I guessed it would be a French game. Indeed, the original title is "Enquête à Versailles II: Avec Vauban!".

This led me to a French forum, and if I understand it correctly, you have to read the phrases on the page to establish the names of the authors.

French forum entry on 'books'

For instance, "L'Avare" (The Miser) would lead you to its author, Molière. In the same way, the image of the "Puss in Boots" indicates Charles Perrault. If there's a mention of a crow (Le Corbeau), this would refer to the story of the Crow and the Fox, you know, with the fox teasing the cheese from the crow's beak, from the Fables by La Fontaine.

If you have the 5 authors, the order would be:



Of course, I have no clue what I'm talking about, but I hope this helps!

P.S. I added some more info today after a brainwave.

Merci beaucoup, Rich, for the time that you spent on this.

Rich,

Thanks for the help. That solved the problem. I worked on it for a week and was getting no where.

Great news.

Thanks again for the help, Rich.

Oh, I'm flattered!

I felt intrigued, because I thought the game was related to the two old Versailles games (1685 and Testament), but apparently this is not the case at all.

It just feels weird that I've been able to give hints about a game I don't know anything about!

Well, I'm stuck very near the beginning of this game so I guess I'm going to be in big trouble. I'm in the professor's lab trying to find some plant or something and needing to press some countries on a globe in the correct order. It seems I've tried everything (always seems that way of course) but can't get the right combination.

I can't find a walkthrough or much information about this game at all. I hope someone can help.

I know Marian. I even copied and pasted the original title from RichAlexis' post and used "translate this page" on a few things but no luck.

I hope you can get through it.

Thanks. It's probably not really a hard puzzle. I think I just must not be seeing something. But going forward...? That puzzle Smokey3869 was stuck on doesn't seem like something I would be able to get either.

Got it! Had to re-listen to some stuff and reorganize it in my brain, then I finally got it.

I'm really glad to hear that you got past it.

Yay, I got past the book puzzle mentioned above, by myself, without looking at the answer. It was not about knowing the authors, just about following the clues to figure out which books to press. The harder part was figuring out the order to press them in. I did that part by trial and error.

I still have a long way to go though, so still hoping I'll be able to finish the game.

Good for you! Good luck with the rest of the game.

Thanks!

Today's my Gameboomers anniversary.

So it is! Happy 11th anniversary!

Well, I finally finished this game. The 2 games were really one long game with the first one continuing right into the second one. I did start having some technical problems with this second game towards the end but thankfully was able to finish it.

What next, what next??

Bravo for finishing the game. Hope you enjoyed it.

If you can play the old ones - have you played the 3 games: Pilgrim, Legend of Prophet & Assassin and Secrets of Alamut? The last 2 were my favs.

Congrats on finishing.

oldbroad, have you played all other games by Nemopolis?

Happy Gaming, oldbroad!
