The briefing

About this game

In L'Abbaye des Morts, Jean Raymond flees soldiers in 13th-century Languedoc and takes refuge in an abbey built above evil catacombs. To drive out the evil, explore the building and collect all twelve Cathar crosses.

Designed to look and control like a ZX Spectrum game, its gameplay draws inspiration from Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy. Move through room after room, ring bells, activate switches, and use stone pillars marked with crosses as checkpoints.

Red hearts provide extra lives, while contact with moving hazards costs a life. Losing all lives ends the game.
