"Circle of Blood is the first part in the Broken Sword series. It is a
third-person point-and-click adventure entirely in 2D. The player
controls George Stobbart, an American tourist spending his autumn
vacation in Paris. He barely escapes a bombing of a caf� and decides
to investigate the clues left behind by the killer. This eventually
leads him to a mystery dating back to the legend of the Knights
Templar.
The game is entirely in 2D and gameplay is in typical point-and-click
fashion. The player moves the character around using the mouse,
examines the environment, talks to other people and collect items
stored in an inventory. These items need to be used or combined with
other items to solve puzzles. George gets help from Nicole Collard, a
French journalist.
The story has been divided into eleven chapters and takes place in
locations such as Paris, Ireland, Syria, Spain and Scotland."
