The most terrifying conspiracy has travelled through the centuries and you have been chosen to go back in time to prevent disaster! You are a Secret Service Agent and you have been sent against your will into the very depths of the ancient Louvre castle. Your mission is to wage battle against a mysterious Tempilar brotherhood, thirsty for chaos. You may never return to the 21st century... You are plunged into a 3D world that is astoundingly realistic and filled with historical characters. You will discover a castle that has never been seen before, accurately reconstructed with the help of the Louvre Museum. What you need in this mentally stimulating adventure are action and reflection. You must uncover the clues and cleverly question the game's characters
Runs well on modern hardware.

Solid game with solid concept. It's not as intense as Celeste when it comes to platforming puzzle, and the action/progression is not as intense as Hollow Knight. It's a nice hybrid between the two, that makes you feel like a ninja with all the mobility tools when you nail it. And above all, the game is relatively easy. I did have some minor complaints: 1. Backtracking sucks. Fast travel is almost none existent and if you choose the "wrong" path, you have to re-do the entire stage because some places are one-way streets. 2. The level difficulties are inconsistent. Some will have super tight reflex testing area, but then immediately followed by areas that are super relaxed. Not really sure why it's that way. But outside of that, the game was very solid. 8/10.
This is a masterpiece in design and implementation. Sabotage have done a phenomenal job with the Messenger. The game has phenomenal music, region design and mechanical depth. It's a joy to experience and I heartily recommend it!
A very nice action jump and run; skill focused. Great Soundtrack, a lot of stuff to discover and explore, good sense of humor. I recommend it completely.
