EXOTERRA: A Space Journey

Fun little escape room game, but smaller than advertised. There are only really two rooms with puzzles in them. There's also a lot of walking back and forth carrying keycards and items, which is less than ideal. But for a free game, it's fine.

Another first-person point and click explorathon in which you wake up alone on an space ship. This time out you need to repair the ship's systems and get your mission back on track. Your ship, the Hope-03 is beautifully realized and a delight to explore. The sound is minimal and there is no sense of dread, or urgency for that matter. Take your time reading computer tablets strewn about the ship and searching for a few well-hidden collectibles. There is no save system, so be prepared to complete the game in one sitting or do as I did - start over a number of times while you figure it all out. Also, you can only carry one object at a time, so there is a fair amount of running back and forth. The price is right, so if you're a fan of this genre, I recommend you give it a go.

Exoterra: A Space Journey is a first-person photo-realistic 3D puzzle game set on a spaceship on a mission to create & colonise a new Earth. A virus has devastated the crew, leaving just the main character to restart the ship's systems. This means finding codes and access cards to unlock rooms & routes (or reaching them by other means), and equipment to repair & activate the energy and navigation systems. The game looks beautiful and has atmospheric systems and machinery background sounds, with just a small amount of voice acting (representing the ship's computer). The puzzles are generally straight-forward, and the many communication devices around the spaceship give clues to them, as well as background story details for the ship's mission. I think that there is only one puzzle ([spoiler]one of the locked cabinets[/spoiler]) for which observation (rather than a textual clue) is essential, unless I missed the related comms device. This is not a long game (under an hour even if everything is examined and read), but movement around the ship can be confusing and tedious at times, particularly as only one object can be carried at a time. My play time represents three full or partial…
