Le Beau Tambour is a text-based narrative game whose mechanics rely on the player's attention to what is happening, emotions and music. While following the adventures of Grenouille, the player meets characters as crazy as they are endearing and tries to solve their problems with the blow of a drum stick! The player must pay attention to the reactions of his musicians to choose the right melody to play, which will accentuate a particular emotion. This emotion will then dictate what answer the musician replies during the dialogue with the character blocking their path. The player thus changes the relationships of his characters and their feelings.
