    I have no idea what I’m doing

      I can explain.
      Apparently, it’s an infotainment game that has been commissioned to Santa Ragione (Italian indie developer group which you may or may not know for Fotonica) by the Mondadori Foundation (which is surely linked to the eponymous Berlusconi-owned publisher, though I can’t figure how).
      The first level basically tells you that crime fiction in Italy is called “yellow” because it gained national acknowledgement due to the book series “Mondadori’s Yellows”, and makes you put in the box at the right of the screen three books of that series. Picking the wrong book gives you a 20-seconds penalty.
      About the second level, I couldn’t unlock it, so maybe it hasn’t been programmed yet.

        yeah, you’re right – I played an earlier version that had more levels unlocked. I’ll ask the SR guys about it.

        Thank you for explaining the game!
        The full version (in Italian) can be downloaded on the Fondazione Mondadori website that I think was just killed by stephen’s post.
        I’m working on an English build that is going to be up in a few hours! Anyway, to clear things up a bit Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori is a non-profit foundation whose mission is preserving the culture of books and traditional publishing: it was founded in 1977 and dedicated to the two italian publishers (and brothers) Arnoldo and Alberto Mondadori. The “Mondadori” publishing owned by Berlusconi was founded in 1907 by Arnoldo and acquired by Berlusconi in 1991. This project WAS NOT funded with Berlusconi’s money, it was sponsored by CARIPLO foundation and Regione Lombardia, as you can see in the credits! Cheers!

    Stephen, I question your aptitude at title format consistency! In this case, shouldn’t the author be in parentheses?
