Magret and FaceDeBouc - 'The buddy-buddy case' Discover the pilot episode of a potential point-and-click adventure game series that will keep you entertained for hours on end! Step into the shoes of an extraordinary detective duo and journey through a captivating and humorous cartoon universe. Inspector Magret, a distinguished and upright green-necked duck, is forced to team up with Inspector FaceDeBouc, a goat with a radically different temperament. Captain of Police, Mr. Hishiro, compels them to cooperate on the investigation of the murder of Mr. Couane, a local merchant who was found in the early morning, sliced into sausages and various pieces of charcuterie in his café... A game in the pure tradition of point-and-click adventures, with a nostalgic 90s old-school atmosphere in a timeless cartoon world. Solve puzzles, find clues, interrogate suspects, carry out arrests, and conduct interrogations at the police station. Explore all the crime-related locations in a sprawling city and enjoy the dark, caustic, and zany humor that has made Adipson Studio's games a success. This pilot episode offers the genesis of possible future investigations and introduces you to all the key characters in the saga, including a scene where the two inspectors meet, the introduction of recurring characters such as Captain Hishiro, Landroch the geek panda, and Mr. Corbillot, the forensic vulture.

(save/load screen) Playing time: between 5 and 7 hours depending on your level of point and click skills One last thing... Warning...you don't have to be sensitive to play this game, as the characters in this point-and-click game break the 4th wall and sometimes address you, aware that they're in a video game that you control...and that's one of the strengths and original features of this game! 

Press reviews: “The third Point'n Click from this studio, ‘Magret et Facedebouc’ is once again a real tribute to this genre, which unfortunately isn't represented very much any more. And 100% in French, please! It's an explosive cocktail of puzzles, strong humour and references galore... The game gave me a real Point'n Click kick, and for me that's a big YES!” 9/10 – State of Gaming “Magret & FaceDeBouc is a wacky new title straight from the imagination of Adipson Studio, whose artistic flair I particularly like. Although it's also a point'n'click game, it's a radically different experience from Grandma Badass, less convoluted but better written, with plenty of puns, references and breaking of the fourth wall.” 18/20 – aquab0n “As you can see from my review, this game is a real favourite with me! I loved it from start to finish. The humour and art direction are exceptional. It's a high-quality offering that deserves maximum recognition. Go for it with your eyes closed, you won't be disappointed!” 19/20 – La Vision d'un Gamer 

Notes: The game is considered mature because it contains some vulgar language. It also contains elements of mutilated bodies in a cartoonish style, which may offend the sensibilities of younger players. There are also graphic representations on the ground of vomit, animal disfigurement, cut-up body parts and murdered characters. The game also contains sounds such as burps and farts in the pure cartoon tradition.
