Orbital Cargo Division

I was very surprised when I already finished the game in 1h50. You play as Christopher Novak, Captain of a freighter crew in the Orbital Cargo Division, who wants to dock at a space station to make their usual deliveries. But this time you find it completely abandoned. Or is it? It’s a game by German developer Manuel Schenk and heavily influenced by Sierra’s Space Quest series. Orbital Cargo Divison feels like it could fit the old Sierra oeuvre, and it relies heavily on that classic charm to win over adventure gamers.

Super!

Fun and short. Best played in German

Funny but VERY short. I've managed to complete it in a little more than an hour, does not worth 10 EUR, I've got it with discount, so it's fine for me.

I liked the atmosphere and the humor. The puzzles are logical and not too difficult, just take the time to inspect each active area in each room. I just wish it was a little longer.
