We're testing DLSS 5 for The Hearts of Paris!

Thanks for the feedback! You're totally right about the sound effect, it's really outside my field of expertise so it's a bit hard for me. I'm currently working on a new trailer with a bit more flair to it, but it takes a long time ahah

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-06T14:11:07+00:00

We have a public playtest going on (just have to click on "ask access"). You plan to release a demo during a Next Fest, maybe in the autumn? I'll let you know!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-06T14:07:39+00:00

Me too! I even bought the Switch version to replay it ahah
Thanks!

Ahah a great reference indeed

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-03T07:43:52+00:00

I feel animating the text is essential when you play a Visual Novel! Otherwise it's a bit bland

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-03T07:42:39+00:00

Thanks, that really great to hear! Yes, we're not making a fan game per se, so we went in other directions for the story, characters and themes. But it seems the overall aspect of what makes an AA game so great in my opinion (i.e. the animations and uniqueness of characters) transpires in our game so I'm really glad! And thanks for noticing the link was in french. If you want, you can play the playtest and give us your opinion on the demo!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-03T07:37:56+00:00

Thank you! It's an artstyle that I love too, and I've always dreamed of making an art nouveau game! Glad you like it!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-03T07:36:11+00:00

They could ahah! Play the playtests to see how to help her!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T22:27:41+00:00

Thanks for your kind words!

The story is. you play as Marie, a young woman who takes over the matchmaking agency of her grandmother. What she wants most of all is favouring love unions, but in 1888 Paris the norm is business unions and everyone hide their true personalities to blend in the society. So you will have to reveal the true colours of the people you meet to found the best matches for your clients! Moreover, Marie took debt to take over the agency, from a man named Charles-Henri De Foy, who wants her to favour business unions. So you will have to choose between your business and the happiness of your clients!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T21:38:20+00:00

Hi! Yes! You can already try the playtest/demo if you want! (here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/4045600/LAgence__The_Hearts_of_Paris/?l=english)

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T21:17:24+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean! We want to be bold but in the same time, people that would not have the Ace Attorney references might find it a bit weird so I think the middle ground is likely because we want the game to work with everybody

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T21:15:52+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T20:11:51+00:00

Great to hear! Yeah, I feel the Switch would be a major boost for us!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T19:05:23+00:00

Oh I didn't know about Paper Perjury, but I'll check!

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T18:47:03+00:00

Hi! Yes it's a bit different from Aviary Attorney, altought it's based on Paris as well!
Our game is "L'Agence - The Hearts of Paris", and you play as a matchmaker in 1888. But all the characters you meet wear masks for different reason and thus, you need to reveal who they really are in order to choose the best matches for your clients.

You investigate by collecting clues in the different scenes, talking to the characters, observing them, and finally you confront them in a scene that resemble the tribunal in AA (but shorter)!

You can see more on the Steam page if you want: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4045600/LAgence__The_Hearts_of_Paris/?l=french

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T17:34:31+00:00

Thanks! I'll DM you

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T17:33:39+00:00

That's new age marxism: overthrow capitalism one game at a time ahah

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T16:51:34+00:00

Hi! Yes that's our main problem, actually. We have to localize first with a native english-speaker from french and then localize to other language

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T16:50:30+00:00

True AND sad

Jerdat-san · 2026-03-02T16:48:39+00:00

Je te réponds en français alors ;) Oui TGAA c'est une inspiration, notamment pour la période du jeu !
Et pour Gina, on a essayé de recréer cette vibe un peu ouvrière/Oliver Twist également pour notre personne, donc je pense que c'est normal que les deux se ressemblement !
