A mystery adventure game

First off, if you are wondering whether this is a ported version to Android of the arch-known PC game, answer is yes, it is. However, if you played it in the past you will find that some things have changed, hence the "Director's cut in the title". As the original title, you will alternatively play with the French brunette girl and the American blond guy to solve a long series of enigmas and puzzles, exploring intrincate scenarios through point and click discovering, everything in order to unveil who's behind a series of eerie murders.

Needless to say, graphics are superb and gameplay bring us back to a golden era of adventure games, and even sounds were taken into account to create a mystery atmosphere. Templars, crypts and secrets of yonder rise to the surface of contemporary Paris to put this game right to the top of the best adventures one may play on an Android. Don't forget to interact with any character you meet and progress through the story a little step every day in your spare moments. In summary, awesome.

This is the English version, though Revolution Software has also launched aptly versions in Spanish and Italian.

Developer's original description available here
Paris in the Fall… a brutal murder at the Palais Royale. When Nico Collard is invited to interview statesman Pierre Carchon, she finds herself inextricably drawn into a terrifying conspiracy. 

One of the all-time classic adventures, multi BAFTA-nominated 'Broken Sword: Director’s Cut' pitches sassy journalist Nico Collard, and intrepid American George Stobbart into a mysterious journey of intrigue and jeopardy. Guide George and Nico on their globe-spanning adventure, exploring exotic locations, solving ancient mysteries, and thwarting a dark conspiracy to reveal the secret truths of the Knights Templar. 

Featuring a widely-praised touch interface, 'Broken Sword: The Director’s Cut' introduces an intricate new narrative thread, alongside the classic story that has charmed millions of players. It’s time to experience George and Nico’s worldwide adventure in a whole new way, with brand new puzzles, hilarious new jokes, and the distinctive, rich story that made the series so deservedly renowned. This is adventure gaming at its very best. 

An enhanced version of the iPhone classic, which itself earned an average (metacritic) review score of 91%, the game includes many unique features including a digital version of ‘Watchman’ co-creator Dave Gibbons’s collector’s comic.

“…this is a must-play game: a latter day blockbuster in a director’s cut form”. The Independent online (5/5)

    Very enjoyable game. Well written with lots of nice puzzles. The game is also quite long so it's good value.

    But I give 4 stars instead of 3 because the game is not short as other puzzle and mystery games. I would give 5 stars if the game had a better story. Many things make no sense. Why would a man travel from France to Syria with a plastic red ball. Why would
