Vanité

Description

In *Vanité*, you thought you could escape divine justice, but your sin refuses to be forgotten. Each puzzle unravels another fragment of your guilt, drawing you closer to an inescapable reckoning. Inspired by *L'Amant Sacrilège*, a rare and macabre 17th-century French text by Jean-Pierre Camus, bishop of Belley, this haunting experience blends historical horror with introspective storytelling. Created during the 2023 Rendez-Vous de l'Histoire Game Jam, *Vanité* immerses you in a dark, atmospheric world where every choice reflects the weight of moral corruption. Navigate using keyboard (Q/D or ←/→) or mouse, and make decisions by selecting dialogue options with a click. Developed by a collaborative team of writers, designers, and artists—including Hélène Thérin, Daydreel, Descund, Anne-Laure Tuduri, Pol Grasland-Mongrain, Benjamin Quellec, and JB Darasco—this compact yet powerful game invites reflection on sin.
