Monet: The Mystery of the Orangery is an adventure game with an historical plot : you are a young architect chosen by the French government to oversee the restoration of the Orangery. But since money and profits are more important than art, your worst opponent will be Celeon Derek, an oil-well project backer, aiming to destroy the Orangery.
Find clues, speak to everyone, and at least defeat Celeon Derek's plans. Travel from Le Havre port to Paris, visit Rouen and the house and gardens of Monet in Giverny. Monet's paintings are the scenes of the game, for the first time rendered in 3D. After installing the game, you will have first to train the combined use of the keyboard and mouse.
