wow looks interesting reminds me of Blade runner for some reason :confused:

Hope it plays well :cool:

lunarwolf · 9 May 2008 at 14:48

exactly what I thought.

Blade Runner is great - this also is some type of investigation vibe, but I do not think it will have the darkness of Blade Runner as those 50s Private Eye type stories/movies. Seems to be more Mass Effect than a dark sci-fi.

Really don't know, but I think it seems to be worth the gamble, it could be one of those diamonds in the rough.

hopefully there will be an english demo soon - really would like to test this one out

eekfek · 13 May 2008 at 11:56

that looks impressive, havent played that type of adventure game for ages

SkeeterUK · 13 May 2008 at 12:22

Reminds me of moment of silence. Should be a good game by the looks of it. I just hope its fully voiced in english as i hate reading conversations in games.

Raco · 13 May 2008 at 12:29

Very impressive thanks for posting it.

LoadsaMoney · 24 May 2008 at 18:36

Does look good, saw it a while ago now, and its out now as well.

Just been watching some of the gameplay vids on youtube, looks bloody great.

lunarwolf · 28 May 2008 at 02:50

has anyone played this since it came out like a week ago? wondering what you thought, if it was worth getting it?

manveruppd · 28 May 2008 at 03:46

You know what the screenshots remind me of?

Remember the old sci-fi-themed Psygnosis games? The ones that were mostly 2D side-scrollers? Presented in glorious 16-colour EGA or, if we were REALLY lucky, 256-colour VGA? In glorious 320x200 resolution?

Well, it reminds me of THE ART ON THE BOX of those games!

lunarwolf · 28 May 2008 at 11:16

sure it ain't Crysis-like, but still makes up for it with imagination and good art style. Good enough for me, arguably better. Was really wondering about the gameplay. Anyone?

SkeeterUK · 28 May 2008 at 11:23

Yeah not a bad game this, a decent high quality sci fi adventure game (point and click) no action crap.

Lead person has the voice of broken swords george for fans of BS series.

Oh I wasn't making fun of the graphics, on the contrary, I was saying that someone FINALLY made a game that really looks like that boxart that captivated my imagination when I was a kid. We're finally there - and "there" is a pulpy late 80s/early 90s fantasy-scifi art-style!

.one. · 29 May 2008 at 01:23

Just got hold of this i will install later, any one played it ?

z0mbi3 · 29 May 2008 at 09:53

Not yet, although I'm looking forward to playing it tonight.

Haven't had a proper sci-fi adventure game for awhile now.

Mikoyan · 29 May 2008 at 11:21

please let us know how it plays

SkeeterUK · 29 May 2008 at 11:34

Plays like any point and click game, you hover mouse over things u click it does stuff, there's puzzles to do. Gfx are of a high quality sound is good voice acting isn't bad. What else can i say.

English review here.

Looks like a 'who dunit' set in starwars places to me. Looks liek the cloning station from the film..

Still, could be fun to try it out.

Nice find.

Cyber-Mav · 29 May 2008 at 12:09

this game doesnt seem to support widescreen, it puts black bars on the left and right to run at a fixed 4:3 aspect ratio.

still a good game though.

Saikor · 29 May 2008 at 13:20

Yeah, I'm enjoying it quite far although it seems to run windowed by default which is fine by me.
The graphics are good and the sound is also good, it seems a lot more forgiving than other point and click adventures (it won't let you leave some rooms until you've done everything).
