The Classical award winning point&click adventure which is set in Sci-fi world of the future. Very much recommended for all P&C enthusiasts.

Flaws Galore So many and so awful flaws - and on top of that: in a game of 2005! Clumsiness all around: A slow moving character, a slow elevator, no direction to change the screen, no fast travel ... You lose al lot of time just for trying to move. Hotspots are not highlighted, - wait, EDIT: They can be highlighted by holding (!) the "H" key ... - and even intense pixel hunting can be unsuccessful, so be prepared to use a walkthrough - as if that game really needs another nail in the coffin.

Fascinating involving tech-noir thriller adventure. Very text-driven can make for slow play but the story is so good that the mechanics don't detract from it. My favourite adventure game.

i went into this game expecting either an interesting sci-fi story based off of all the reviews touting it as this game's greatest strength, or something completely unhinged to the point of comedy, like the studio's first game (The Mystery of the Druids). what i got in the end was neither of those things, and while the game has its moments it was quite disappointing. [b] Technical aspects. [/b] the game worked fine most of the time, it only crashed on me once, but there are a few bugs. the most agregious one is one earlygamr npc's model literally disappearing, which makes its its hitbox cover the entire screen, making it impossiblle to move. thankfully the camera angle allows you to exit the location which most of the time fixes it. speaking of camera angles, they're probably my biggest gripe with this game - some zoom out way too far, others make it hard to find important locations or even change into a different angle, and there's a specific section of the game that suffers a lot from it. overall, the game is far less janky than what i expected but it can be a chore to navigate. [b] The Story. [/b] it's probably the most disappointing aspect of this game. some dialogues get da…

Kind of like Deus Ex in a video game - conspiracies, AI and politics.

I played this game because I was curious what the developers of the absolutely absurd Mystery of the Druids went on to make later, and if they improved on the many, [i] many [/i] flaws it had. Unfortunately, this game is as bad if not worse in most ways. I have so many thoughts about this game that I'm not sure how to order them, so I'll list things off as I think of them. Please keep in mind that I played this game on Ubuntu using Proton; I'm not sure if some of the technical aspects I'll go on to list were caused/made worse by this. To begin, basic movement in this game is a Herculean task. The character does not like to move exactly where you click, particularly if you are clicking at the edge of the screen. But, at the same time, this game has multiple camera angles which are switched between automatically whenever you reach the edge of one camera angle, meaning you [i] have to click at the edge of the screen [/i] thoughout the game. The end result is that you'll feel like you're fighting against the controls the entire game. The game audio was quite buggy for me; I would turn down the SFX volume only for it return to full volume upon moving to another room (the slider wo…
