Black Sect 2: The Cursed Crypt (PnC Remake)



About
This is an English remake of the French graphic adventure game 'La Crypte Des Maudits', originally released for the Amstrad CPC in French language only by Lankhor.

The game can be played in the following palettes (you can switch at any time while in-game):




    • Amstrad color with 11 palettes
    • Amstrad grey with 1 palette
    • Amstrad green with 1 palette
Story:
After stealing the magical book of spells in La Secte Noire,
the Black Sect has returned to terrorize the population.

They are gathering in a nearby crypt, below the dark rooms of
the castle of Golin the Gnome, and you have ventured into it.

Find your way to the crypt through the castle filled with passages
blocked by gates, doors and chests to be opened, buttons to be
pressed, levers to be pulled, and secret rooms...

Can you annihilate this evil sect once and for all?

Wait, what? Black Sect 2...?:
The original 1991 version of Black Sect 2, called 'La Crypte Des Maudits' was the successor of the 1990 game 'La Secte Noire', the original 'Black Sect'. Both were done by Lankhor and only released for Amstrad and supported French only.
The better known 1993 version of 'Black Sect' was Lankor's own remake of 'La Secte Noire'.

What people say about the game:



    • I found this game to be of excellent difficulty. Required some thinking to solve puzzles, but there was no feeling of hopelessness, although did come close to that feeling sometimes! Some of these older games would have you lose inventory items or die in random situations, am pleased to say this is not one of those games. Would recommend playing. [Andy]



    • Very nice remake. I like the colour palette and the sounds which are reminiscent of the old Amstrad games. I'm glad you've added mouse support because I don't enjoy typing commands. [lanchong]



    • Seems a true conversion of the Amstrad CPC game and this is a good thing. There are many red herrings and you can get involved in solving the logic puzzles quite heavily. Very nice! [blur]



    • Is It your first game? It's incredibly well made [lucyinthespace]



    • I haven't played a game in this style for many years. the puzzles are very interesting the game is programmed very well. I have not found any bugs [Deneris]
