Line 4:
Early XIIIth Century in the French region of Languedoc. The [[wikipedia:Albigensian Crusade|Albigensian Crusade]], promoted by the Catholic Church against [[wikipedia:Catharism|Catharism]], is taking place. Jean Raymond, a Cathar monk, is fleeing from the crusaders and finds refuge in an abandoned church, not knowing that it holds an even greater evil inside...
 
A minor project from Locomalito after their [[Magnum Opus]] ''[[Hydorah]]'', made in two weeks and just 23 screens long, ''L’Abbaye Des Morts'' is no less interesting due to the choice of making it similar to a [[ZX Spectrum]] game, specifically to platformers like ''[[Manic Miner]]'' and ''[[Jet Set Willy (Video Game)|Jet Set Willy]]'' – but not as [[Nintendo Hard|hard]], luckily.
 
Can be downloaded [http://www.locomalito.com/juegos_abbaye_des_morts.php here], along with a few nice extras. A map (which contains big spoilers, obviously) is available [http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2010/09/labbaye_des_morts_map.html here].
Line 29:
* {{spoiler|[[Satan]]}}: The final enemy – as in the rest of the game, you have to avoid its attacks and get an item to win.
* {{spoiler|[[Shaggy Dog Story]]}}: {{spoiler|The crusaders burn Jean after they mistakenly believe he was a worshipper of Satan, but they probably would have killed him anyway.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: Like in the games that inspired it, every screen has its own name. One even drops a hint for the player.
