There's something about the early 16th century that agrees with Kheops Studio and its development partners TOTM Studio and Mzone Studio. After having delved the mysteries of Leonardo Da Vinci in their last collaboration, now the trio are turning their sights to the famous seer in Nostradamus — The Last Prophecy.

Following a similar pattern to The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript, the new adventure tasks players with a series of puzzles inspired by the works of Nostradamus, covering a variety of topics like astrology and medicine. Set in Provence during a time of plague and religious warfare, former regent Catherine de Médicis has become a popular target of attacks by the French nobility, and when she discovers she's fallen victim to a curse, she requests the help of her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame.

Nostradamus cannot attend personally, so he sends his daughter Madeleine in his stead. In medieval times, however, a woman would never be recognized as either a doctor or astrologer, so in order to gain acceptance, Madeleine must disguise herself as her younger brother César. Players will alternate between the characters of Madeleine and César as they find themselves "plunged into a thriller where political scheming and ancestral prophecies are intertwined. The game begins as an initiatory adventure in the footsteps of her father, the prophet and astrologer, before creating all the suspense of a detective novel: from one murder to another, players make their way through a test-riddled forensic investigation."

Nostradamus — The Last Prophecy will be published by Elektrogames in Europe and MC2 Microids in North America, and the game is currently targeting a release in the third quarter of this year.
