Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer

ADVENTURE 1995

Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer, released in 1995 by Clipper Software, is a charming point-and-click adventure set in 16th-century France, blending swashbuckling action with lighthearted humor. Players step into the boots of Geoffroi Le Brun, an aspiring musketeer who stumbles into a plot involving murder, romance, and political intrigue—all while trying to uphold honor and win the heart of a noble lady.

The game features hand-drawn backgrounds, witty dialogue, and a cast of colorful characters inspired by the world of The Three Musketeers. With classic inventory-based puzzles, historical settings like Rouen, Paris, and Le Havre, and a loyal (if not always helpful) sidekick named Henri, the adventure offers both laughs and brain-teasing challenges.

Touché is praised for its playful tone, memorable writing, and stylish visuals reminiscent of the golden age of adventure games. Though lesser known, it remains a hidden gem for fans of classic LucasArts-style storytelling with a distinctly French flair.
