After a local woman is murdered, a group of teenage liars create a warning e-mail of a serial killer named “The Wolf”, coming on the next full moon. The teens describe each death method The Wolf uses, but when the described victims actually do start turning up dead, suddenly no one knows where the lies end and the truth begins.

Amazingly effective game, apparently even turned into a movie not once but twice (Cry_Wolf and one Austrian adaption, according to de.wikipedia). That connection to an 18th century media hype adds an interesting new angle to the success of that game, in particular given how France is not exactly known as a big exporter of modern games except for that one.
(whereas in pre-modern games, there seems to be be a huge amount of frenchess everywhere. I guess that's still a consequence of the idleness enforced at Versailles and Europe's near-universal scramble to replicate?)
