Versailles 1685 (also known as Versailles: A Game of Intrigue) is a point and click adventure game that revolves around Lalande, a young valet de chambre, who is called by Alexandre Bontemps in the early morning of the summer solstice 1685 after a strange pamphlet is discovered (which at the bottom figures a title of Aesop's fables: 'the frogs and Jupiter'), written by a schemer who threatens to set fire to the castle, all-the-while littering it with satirical pamphlets and clues which, if correctly pieced together could save the castle from its potential fate; the player has until nightfall to investigate the castle and surrounding areas.

In association with French national institution Réunion des Musées Nationaux and Canal+Multimédia, Cryo Interactive recreated the Parisian palace in pre-rendered 3D panoramas using Omni-3D technology, which allows you to turn yourself in 360 degrees. Populated with about 30 characters modeled after historic figures and portraits, a lot of detail went into the recreation with over 200 paintings to view, music true to the period, and a database of information about the art, history, and people.
