April in Paris

Author:Jim Aikin
Released:2008
Review:

You are a tourist who wants to dine at a cafe in Paris. However, you need to make the garçon turn his precious attention to you first...

This is a puzzle-oriented game, and the puzzles are great indeed. The setting is fine and pretty atmospheric. My main disappointment were the characters: the author depicted them so vividly I expected them to be more like real people, but, as it turned out later, they mostly were just obstacle- and puzzle-providing dummies.

Rating: ****
