Alternativa

AlternativA is a point and click cyberpunk game that came out a decade before Cyberpunk 2077 propelled the genre to global fame. Set in a dystopian 2045 Prague, the city has survived the third world war caused by the invention of android robots and has restructured itself into three districts (Government, Industrial and Slums) separated by walls, with a high-level railway network connecting them that requires identification in the form of a travel pass with a limited charge, and power is now consolidated between three entities: the State; Endora, a construction conglomerate; and Theolex, the manufacturer of androids. You play as Richard Rocek, a commuter and construction worker raised by his foster father and bartender Tom, who lives in the Slums district with his roommate and coworker Andy, and Richard starts the game being evicted from the Industry district due to Endora’s mass layoff and has his access card to the district revoked by the android guardians.

Pure CACA!!! Not worth drive space if it were free!!!

Unplayable. The game constantly crashed, forcing me to save after nearly every action just to avoid losing progress. At times it would freeze completely, requiring a full restart. The characters also glitched repeatedly, and the only way to keep things moving was by repeatedly hitting the Windows key. I eventually reached Brazil, but then became completely stuck... movement, interactions, and dialogue options all stopped working. I couldn’t even exit the game normally and had to close it through Task Manager. I tried several times, but kept encountering the same issue at that exact point. I’ve now uninstalled the game.

...finding exactly the correct sequence of actions to solve puzzles...nt!

A little buggy and didn't like the story unfortunately
