Guided by two guardians, you must gather the right assortment of flowers in this classic MSX1 puzzle game by French developer Rei-Vax-73. The game challenges your perceptions, as appearances can be deceiving.

Two twins, an enchanter and an enchantress, served as devoted guardians of a sacred sanctuary of natural forces. They lived to protect this hallowed place until a tragic event befell them. They were afflicted with an unyielding curse: from that moment on, every word they spoke would be either the purest truth or the most deceitful lie, with no control over which it would be. Ancient grimoires declare that a singular power on this earth can shatter such a curse: the power of mystical flowers.

In “The Curse Of Lies,” your task is to assemble the correct combination of mystical flowers to uncover the Flower of Truth, which will lift the curse. Each turn requires you to choose the appropriate mystical flower with the Guardians’ guidance. However, be wary: due to their curse, their words may not always be trustworthy.

This game, although based on MSX1, boots from a disk using MSX-DOS2. It can be played using either a keyboard or a joystick. The included manual might help you on your path to the truth…
