You could wander through a lively street market, a clattering printing workshop, Marcel's modest bedroom, a tailor's shop, a bar, and other richly staged environments, coming face-to-face with each character in Marcel's world.

Along the way, you may be asked to help with such small tasks as sorting documents for a clerk, stamping papers, holding a lantern or even picking up a rose for Marcel.

You could choose to overlook the characters reveling in the club on the second floor or join them in dancing. You may observe Marcel's subtle expressions of distress up close by his bedside or watch from afar amid the crowd.
