Freedom!
No pixel hunt, nice 3d renderings (nicer than the usual, at least) and an immersive story (even if not that original) with unanswered questions makes this interesting enough to make me wait anxiously for the next episode!
However..
The puzzles were a little uninteresting, though. Actually, there are no puzzles.. finding all samples or finding all codes are not examples of puzzles in my book :P The big robot in the last part didn't add anything to the experience. clicking everything that is clickable on my screen, before the life runs out, seems like a weak attempt to add some action to the gameplay.
1 258 000 in 19:38.
Easy, but not annoyingly so, rather a comfy room escaper. Great graphics, very player-friendly gameplay. No need of walthru. High score from me.
Looking forward to the sequel.
PS: I wonder if it'll mean something in the sequels that
specimen 2 seemed to give me a rather hard and penetrating look.
It didn't seem to effect gameplay at all - and I guess there's just no way to avoid it, is there? :D
I really liked this game. The atmosphere was one of the best I've seen, and the puzzles were just the right difficulty for me. I used only partial help from the walkthrough. There was, however, one thing that subtracted from the experience:
The robot at the end wasn't very good. There should have been something like a bare wall instead of the robot, and you had to hack into the computer to deactivate it...
Overall though, a very good game. Can't wait for episode 2!
Great game, even if short. Mostly I enjoyed being able to complete it by myself! However, I hope the second part has more of a puzzle aspect to it, since this one was more of a "just look around and you'll find the answer" kind of thing.
Wonderful graphics and an engrossing, if typical, storyline. Particularly liked the "There is no escape!" messages - very Portal.
well, something that could of made the robot better was if it chased you down a hallway. you also should of previously assembled a weapon in the lab, (like a gun or a pocket knife.) you could have a ridicule every time you equipped it. you could then fine some weakness in the robot's armor every time you went down a hall way. if you shot the droid, then it played the cut seen. could that added some action? just a suggestion...
