This one runs on the ScummVM engine, right in your browser. The download is large — the progress bar shows it working; it isn't stalled. When "Click to begin" appears, click it: the opening holds on a dark frame until it hears from you, and your click switches the sound on.
About this game
The Broken Sword chapter the fans made: George Stobbart rushes back to Paris on word that Nico Collard is dead — only to find her alive, distant, and tangled in a Neo-Templar assassination plot. Built over eight years by the fan team mindFactory, endorsed by Revolution Software itself, and slotted between The Smoking Mirror and The Sleeping Dragon, it plays like the 2D sequel the series never got — hand-drawn Paris, an orchestral score, and full speech in English and German.
