The game is notable for its unique art style, with characters illustrated in the "art nouveau" style popularized by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec that was in style in 1914, the year the game's events take place.
Brøderbund, the game's publisher, did little to promote the game, apart from a brief mention in a press release[REF] and enthusiastic statements by Brøderbund executives,[REF] in part due to the entire Brøderbund marketing team quitting in the weeks before its release [REF].
