Magret & FaceDeBouc

Magret & FaceDeBouc is a point-and-click adventure and pilot episode for a potential series. You play as Inspector Magret, an upright green-necked duck, and Inspector FaceDeBouc, a goat with a very different temperament. Captain of Police Mr. Hishiro forces the pair to work together to investigate the murder of Mr. Couane, a local merchant found in his café cut into sausages and other pieces of charcuterie. The case unfolds in a cartoon world with a nostalgic 1990s atmosphere and dark, caustic humor.

Investigate the case

You explore crime-related locations across a sprawling city, search for clues, solve logic-based puzzles, question suspects and make arrests. You can also combine objects to create new ones, and conduct interrogations at the police station. Magret and FaceDeBouc are both playable, and each has their own abilities and personality.

Meet the characters

The pilot episode introduces the origins of the duo and the saga’s key characters, including Captain Hishiro, Landroch the geek panda and Mr. Corbillot, a forensic vulture. The characters also break the fourth wall at times, speaking to you as if they know they are in a video game you control.

Case tools

An objective log tracks your quests, while a hint system and a hint-giving worm help you follow your goals and find your way around. The game includes a walkthrough and an in-game achievement guide, accessible from the save and load screen. You can save or quit at any time, and the game has no loading times. Its text and object descriptions are translated into English, and you can change the language during play. A playthrough takes about 5 to 7 hours, depending on your point-and-click experience.
