Ceteris Paribus
Description
in CETERIS Paribus the player takes the role of Kai, a student who is behind on his economics studies and therefore pops next door to talk to his friend Pavlos who is a professor.
The game is mouse controlled and plays like a point and click adventure with hidden object elements. When they meet Pavlos explains that he knows a lot about economics but his thoughts are a bit scattered - however in each room of his house is a painting which will help him explain key points.
Clicking the mouse on a point causes Kai to move to that location or interact with an object and there are many objects other than the painting in each room. When the room's painting a hidden object scene is opened, each hidden object found triggers a discussion about an economic principle. When the last discussion has finished Kai's homework book appears hovering in the air like Harry Potter's spellbook. Clicking on that opens a page of text that summarises the lesson but with key words missing - these words are economic terms that the player must drag and drop into the correct place.
