Savoir-Faire is a 2002 Interactive Fiction game by Emily Short.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })You play a young man in 18th century France who is the adopted son of a wealthy Count. In need of money, you return home, but the Count himself is nowhere to be found. Fortunately, you are gifted with the aristocracy's magic heritage, the lavori d'Aracne, which enables the gifted to mystically link two objects as long as there is some similarity or connection between them. With the help of this power, you set about uncovering the mansion's secrets.You can download or play it online here.Short made two other games set in the same universe. Damnatio Memoriae (2006) is a distant prequel, set in the early Roman Empire and adding some new facets to the lavori (or the Art of Venus Genetrix, as it is called in that era). First Draft of the Revolution (2012; co-written with Liza Daly) returns to the time-frame of Savoir-Faire, and exchanges the parser-based adventure game for a set of interactive letters written by important players on the eve of The French Revolution.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Damsel in Distress: Played straight with Marie, whom you have to save (from a distance) in the endgame. Though she wastes no time saving herself once you've provided her with an escape route.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Central to the game, since having the same colour is one of the possible connections that allow items to be linked. Some puzzles involve recolouring an item so that it can be used to affect another. Or, in the case of the basement doors, making their colour appear different by other means.

Developers' Foresight: Everything that is similar enough can be linked using the lavori, regardless of whether that linkage is necessary to solve a puzzle. Even the books you find can be reverse-linked, resulting in some funny descriptions of their new contents.

Food Porn: The game is full of this. The protagonist starts hallucinating about various delicious foods when hungry, and one major puzzle is finding all the ingredients for a meal. (You can even go for a vegetarian version if you prefer to.)
