Doc Apocalypse

Doc Apocalypse!

Doc Apocalypse is a small-scale indie point-and-click adventure developed by Midian Design and published by Screen 7, that leans heavily into retro sci-fi themes, quirky storytelling, and traditional adventure game mechanics. It’s a compact experience with modest production values, but one that tries to carve out a unique identity through its eccentric setting and character-driven narrative. For those who appreciate indie efforts in the adventure genre—particularly games with a nostalgic charm and B-movie atmosphere—Doc Apocalypse can be an engaging, if flawed, ride. The story centers on Dr. Lewis Higgins, a scientist whose weather-control experiment goes disastrously wrong, triggering a cataclysmic event that decimates the world and tears his family apart. What begins as a scientific breakthrough quickly spirals into a nightmare, and the rest of the game follows the aftermath of that accident. You’re tasked with navigating a post-apocalyptic world in search of solutions, clues, and a way to undo—or at least come to terms with—the damage that’s been done. It’s a premise with emotional undercurrents, especially as the story becomes more personal and introspective, focusing not just…

As many other reviewers have noted, this game does suffer from an unintuitive UI in addition to some pixel hunting moments and puzzles not always logically making sense. I will say however after clearing the game twice I enjoyed the sheer Bizarreness of it and the voice acting although hit and miss was also funny and entertaining. The music and landscapes also hit pretty well to give it a strange apocalypse/time traveling atmosphere. Goofy and not to be taken too seriously there is fun to be had if you're into a modern point and click that feels like a lost surreal relic of the 90s and just take it in for its quirky self, but people seeking a game with a serious tone will likely be put off by the strange directions and pop culture references. If you want an archaic feeling strange campy time traveling story this may scratch that weird itch. For me the game isn't bad bad more like bad and I laughed along with it rather than at it, it obviously was made by devs with little experience and overall for 99 cents I think certain people looking for sci fi cheese will get some solid chuckles out of it. I do recommend playing the game with a guide however, I think the player will have …

It's a big plus point in my eyes to find a click and point adventure here, which is as long as more expensive games of that kind here, but offers an (at least) equal gameplay-length! Unfortunately it got some negative aspects as well, therefore I will summarize to you all it's pros and cons: + A story suitable to all science-fiction fans and maybe even conspiracy theory fans would enjoy it! + Hard puzzles, which is a big pro for all genre-fans. + Well made video-sequences in the game. + A big twist in the story of this game. + Great sounding voices. + Sympathetic main hero. - At the start of the game, there's a minigame for unlocking Doc's bunker. It needs incredible fast left-mouse button smashing for opening this bunker, which was even impossible for my usb-mouse to handle for! Only the inbuilt latop-mouse was able to handle it (hardly!), but I doubt that's any good for your laptop's condition... - Some objects are hard to see, like for example a mirror on a counter or a transparent bottle on the floor. - For some riddles or just for getting extra points, you actually need to talk to some objects! That's hard to find out without a walkthrough, but thank goodness you w…
