About

Figaro is a short, talky piece about revenge and whether taking it is worth what it costs. It was written for the Innovation Comp and leans on conversation rather than objects.

The game says so itself: its banner declares that it is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 3. Gijsbers released the source and encouraged people to build on it.
