Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse: Episode II (2014)
Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse: Episode II is a 2014 adventure video game made by Revolution Software.
Paris in spring, and the shots fired in a Left Bank gallery have set something much older in motion. The second episode of The Serpent's Curse picks up where the first left off, with George Stobbart and Nico Collard chasing a stolen canvas across Europe as the conspiracy beneath it grows wider and stranger. Revolution Software brings the series back to its hand-painted roots: precise cursor work, sharp dialogue, and a plot that ties Gnostic mythology to present-day murder with a confidence the series has always worn lightly.
