History in Letters – The Eternal Alchemist
Nicolas Flamel gained posthumous fame as an alchemist. According to legend, he is said to have found the philosopher’s stone and attained immortality. Today, this is commonly dismissed as a fairy tale. The philologist Remy Chaveau thinks the same until he gets hold of a previously unknown diary. The book documents the search for Flamel’s mysteries in a very cryptic way and it looks like the diary’s author was close to solving them just before he died. Henceforth, Remy follows in the footsteps of the diary’s deceased writer and is drawn into a whirlwind of dark secrets and intrigues.
“History in Letters” invites you to a riddle-filled adventure in France. Not only does the game feature historical facts about Flamel and French history, it also tells many interpersonal conflicts. The story is peppered with over a dozen puzzles which make the game more challenging and enjoyable.
Take on the role of linguist Remy Chaveau and search for clues and hints. Solve tricky puzzles to reveal the secret of the mysterious diary. An exciting journey through France and into the mysterious depths of Paris awaits you!

After playing 'History in Letters' the team's deep love for old school adventures becomes apparent, combined with a modern approach towards the genre with relaxing Hidden Objects pictures and knocking puzzles. It is a nice little treat if you look for a new adventure.
The story is set in Paris, following smart ass Remy on the trail of the notorious alchemist Nicolas Flamel which somewhat evoked an appetite to dig more into the topic of who Flamel really was. The lovely crafted setting is an interesting mix of fancyful set-ups, French-styled cafés, buildings and dungeons to crack your head over puzzles and solve the mystery of the inherited diary.

A relatively short point&click adventure game, in which you play as a young French philologist Remy Chaveau, whose current case leads him on a trail of the famous alchemist Nicholas Flammel and the mystery surrounding his legacy. About half of the game time consists of dialogues, the rest is split between interactive scenes typical for point&click genre and puzzles of medium complexity. On the technical side, the game is somewhat mediocre – graphics look a bit outdated, loading times between the locations are perhaps too long, and music, while not bad, is few and far in between. But that aside, you still get an engaging story, well worth getting if you like point&click adventures.

This worked well on Windows 10.
This is a cute match 3 game with a bit of story and a few mini games mixed in.
I played it with touch screen and mouse, both worked smoothly. Right clicking will release your selection.
The music and game play was very relaxing. The artwork is beautiful.
