In 2014 it was also ported to iOS and Android, but I can't find it on the Play store so maybe that's gone now.Ī: Well, as always, there's the good old physical copy, but luckily the 2014 mobile port was done by a French Publisher (Anuman Interactive) who then put the original on both Steam ( ) and GoG ( ). The game was released on PC and ported to PSX (where most people seem to have played it surprisingly). Released in 1999 by the French developer Delphine Studios (most notably known for.
