On the back of the sleeve, there's a short comic strip and some screenshots from the game. And there's a novel of about thirty pages (all illustrations are by Michel Rho)
I will treasure this game π₯°

Like Captain Blood, it is a vinyl-sized sleeve in which documents and floppy disks can be stored.
I really like the cartoon-style design! π

L'Ange de Cristal (Crafton & Xunk 2), a childhood game that my father bought on Atari ST and that I loved.
I'll post some more photos π

The in-game version is truly faithful to the original composition! π΅

I wonder who did the chiptune. Jean-Louis Valero himself? (or Philippe Ulrich?)

Did you know that the music for Crafton & Xunk was composed on the piano? πΉ
Composer Jean-Louis Valero has posted it on his YouTube channel:

This one's pretty slow, and the music stops when a room is loaded.

The Crafton & Xunk games on Amstrad CPC and Atari ST were really great!
But did you know that the music was different in Crafton & Xunk 2? It was composed by Philippe on Atari ST. On Amstrad CPC, we don't know.
Here are some videos if you want to compare the versions:

My father also bought the sequel to Crafton & Xunk: L'Ange de Cristal! π
Released in 1988, the game was even more ambitious: bigger, more interactions, etc. Probably the best isometric action-adventure game of the time. π€©
