Désiré is a poetic point-and-click adventure game in black and white. When the schoolteacher asks Désiré why he didn't draw the sun like the other pupils, he replies spontaneously: « It's always night in my head. » Désiré is colour-blind from birth and he will lead you into in world of black and white. He marches on hesitantly, as life never brought him much joy. From a tender age, he is going to meet several characters who will elicit in Désiré intense emotions and alter his vision in surprising ways. Is colour at the end of the road? The game is, at its core, a critique of the modern world and of the perverting nature of a consumer, profit-obsessed society. The game contains 4 chapters, 50+ scenes, 40+ characters and a lot of riddles.

About

The Mad Magician is a spellbound game that unfolds and ends differently each time you explore it. It looks like any house in the suburbs, but something spooky is going on inside! Danny lives here, but today when you come calling, his fiery-haired, flaring-tempered uncle slams the door in your face! Danny has disappeared, and you can bet that grumpy geezer is the cause of his troubles! Luckily, Danny has some special friends who will help you with the trouble. It’s up to the charming daredevil Don Mouse, clever Flora the Fly, the foolish-hearted slow-witted dog Harold, and — most of all — YOU to solve the mystery of the missing boy and the sneezing ghost.
