Overview
Released in 1987, “Jeu du Pendu, Le” is a classic word puzzle video game inspired by the traditional pen-and-paper game Hangman. This digital rendition invites players to guess letters and reveal a hidden word before the stick figure is fully drawn. Offering a digital twist on the familiar game, it challenges players’ vocabulary and strategic thinking.
Gameplay
