The Messenger (original French title: Louvre: L'Ultime Malédiction, "Louvre: The Final Curse") is an adventure game released in Europe in 2000, and in North America in February 2001.

It was co-developed by 4x Technologies, Arxel Tribe and Visual Impact and jointly published by Wanadoo Edition, Canal+ Multimedia and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux.

The Secret Service Agent Morgane Sinclair has been charged with the mission to retrieve four mystical artifacts called Satan's Keys from the Louvre Museum.

In this race against evil and against time, she needs to find the keys before the vengeful descendants of an evil cult of Black Templars combine these mystic artifacts, triggering Armageddon.
