Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of the Templars

Fan projects are usually rough around the edges, but Broken Sword 2.5 feels like a love letter written in gold ink. It bridges the gap between the official second and third entries, complete with hand-drawn backgrounds, full voice acting, and puzzles that actually feel like they belong in the series. The humor, the charm, the mysterious Templar nonsense—it’s all there, lovingly recreated. While it’s not “official,” it could easily fool someone into thinking it is. For fans of George and Nico, this is more than a game; it’s a gift.

“The last months were quite a blow of fate to George Stobbart.

When George receives a telegram from France one day he already has a foreboding of evil. The consigner is–Nicole Collard, Paris, France. His presentiment shall turn into cruel certainty: Nico is dead! "First my grandpa and now Nico?", George thinks and takes the first plane to Paris.Still sorting his thoughts in the Cafe della Chandelle Verte–where everything began–George hears an alarming story about Nico from Andre Lobineau making the unpleasant thought germinate in him that the Neo-Templars could still exist…” - mindFactory
