Les Guignols de l'info… le jeu !

About

Les Guignols de l'info… le jeu ! casts you as a rookie reporter for a fictional news channel tasked with chasing celebrity scoops. Navigate a world of politicians, athletes, and movie stars using a point-and-click interface, but instead of collecting items, you rely on a video camera with a shrinking battery. Your goal is to capture visuals and audio that fit your mission brief, balancing speed against limited time. Quick decisions matter, characters come and go fast, and each interaction pushes you closer to replacing the channel's main host. Mini puzzles pop up like assembling composite sketches or picking the right line of questioning, blending investigation with comedic timing. The game leans into the absurd humor of its TV roots, offering sharp satire and chaotic character interactions. With a 72% average on GameRankings, it stands out for its brisk pacing and quirky dialogue. The lack of an inventory forces creative problem-solving, while the camera’s battery drain adds tension to every scene. Released in 1995, it feels like a relic of early 90s PC comedy games, where wit and speed kept things fresh.
