About
Who are you, Amandine Palmer? A Parisian of 1990, red haired and intrepid, with her eternal cat Humphrey. Francois Coulon and Laurent Cotton wrote L'Egerie for the Atari ST in 1990 and adapted it for the Mac in 1993. It uses the trappings of the illustrated adventure game but is closer to a graphic novel: a story in the past tense, no score, no puzzles, a female lead.
You direct and follow Amandine's destinies; she ends up mother, muse, reporter, lover, in the sun or in trouble. Misunderstood at first by players who expected a goal, it found an audience in the digital art world after the Mac version.
Brutal Deluxe's IIGS version (January 2022) keeps the original elements intact, large pixels and all, and ships as a 32 MB .2mg that boots straight into GS/OS. This archive does not host the disk; get it from the Brutal Deluxe page.
