About Pleiades - A Subversion Saga Game
The year is 2055, the United States underwent a full blown revolution and complete restructure in 2033 and things are just starting to settle down. The people have retaken control of the country which now operates on a politician-less, true democracy structure. During and after the fall of the former US Government, nothing substantial about UFOs or advanced programs came to light. Enter 22 year old Michael Tomlinson, he's got a passion for UFOs and he knows there is more to the story than meets the eye. He heard that Pleiades State Park in Washington State was a great hot spot, so he decides to go investigate for himself. Play as Michael as you explore the park and surrounding mountains to uncover the deep mysteries shrouding the phenomena. Dark secrets and strange events unfold as you dig deeper and deeper for the truth.
Features:
• Rich Story — The story of Pleiades will have your mind working on overdrive and beg you for several replays to fully grasp all of it's facets and secrets.
• Familiarity — An intuitive and familiar FPS control scheme make it easy for any FPS fan to jump right into the game's mysterious and enticing narrative.
• Interactive Exploration — Play at your own speed, dig deep through each meticulously crafted level and explore every nook for the plethora of hidden Easter Eggs and backstory expanding content or simply ignore the unnecessary stuff and stick to the primary narrative if that suits you better.
• Challenging Puzzles — The path is not always crystal clear, you will need to use your wits, exploration skills and Michael's diary entries to guide you forward.
• Engaging Combat — Although the story is the focus of the game, combat plays an important role and keeps you on your toes throughout.
• Fully Voiced Script — Every line from the carefully concocted script is voiced by professional actors Joshua Linscott, William Lang, James Garner and Emma Maidenburg.
• Light Is Your Friend — Many of the games areas are dimly lit and there is a focus on managing your light sources and their respective fuel. Choose between a disposable glow stick, a torch, a battery powered flashlight or night vision camera as your preference and the situation call for.
• Take Your Shot — An instant development camera called a Cameroid can be found early on and throughout the game, allowing you to take photos for your enjoyment or to document your journey. These photos save to your computer for easy sharing with friends and later use.
• Subversion Saga Universe — The Subversion Saga is a trilogy of novels written by Joshua Linscott that take place roughly twenty years before the events in Pleiades. The game takes the series in a new and exciting science fiction direction which will be accompanied by a new companion trilogy of novels in the Saga that are yet to be announced.
• The Ultimate Indie Game — This game was created entirely by Joshua Linscott from the ground up. Utilizing Unreal Engine 4 w/Horror Engine, coupled with high quality professional licensed 3D assets and sounds.

Originally I wasn't going to write a review for this game because there wasn't a whole lot to say about it. Boring scenery, boring combat, boring puzzles, boring enemies. But anytime I see fake reviews on a game (Things like people having less than 30 minutes of gameplay or brand new accounts writing their first review on their first game) I feel like I should say something. The game is over priced, plain and simple. At least 90% of the game is either walking away from enemies that never stop chasing you or walking from one room to the other to find another code. The other 10% is listening to overly long cut scenes waiting for your chance to play again. There are two types of enemies in the game. Small little sparky balls that follow you everywhere and Small sparky balls that blink around all over the sky and fire lighting bolts at you. The first enemies can follow you anywhere you go but aren't quite as fast as you so you can easily outrun them, also they can't seem to walk through doors or attack you if you are standing on an object. This is explained in the game by some kind of indian magic symbol a hillbilly used that keeps aliens from moving through doors. Ok bud. The second…13 found this helpful
Seems like the few people who have reviewed the game haven't had a chance to spend a ton of time with it, so I thought I would chime in with a more detailed review. It's gonna be all kinda jumbled cause I'm just gonna write what I think and keep writing until I think I've covered everything. I was hesitant to give the game a chance due to the low amount of reviews and the one lengthily negative review. After watching the trailer, I really wanted to see what it was all about and give it a chance. I'm glad I did! When I found out the game was developed by one man over the course of a few months, it blew my mind! That's crazy, especially for a game with this much going on in it! That's another reason I decided to write this review, this game deserves more attention and love from people who I know will enjoy it. Anyways, I approached the game with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. As the negative reviewer states, the game doesn't really do anything revolutionary in the mechanics department. Hell, most games don't nowadays. The mechanics work well though and I very much enjoyed running around using my different light sources to explore the very unique and diverse levels.

This game is a FANTASTIC value for the price. While was initially confused, it is quite immersive and story-driven. If you enjoy games focused around a bit of mystery and heavy storytelling, this is the game for you3 found this helpful
This game is awesome! Very fun and interesting and always makes me want to come back!1 found this helpful
A decent sci-fi indie horror game. There are some bugs and the cutscenes are very cheesy, but I enjoyed it.. Quite a long game too.
So far I am very much enjoying the game. I love the little easter eggs and to voicing. Will post a better review once I've made more headway!
