What players say

Players praise this 1990s point-and-click adventure for its hard sci-fi worldbuilding and fair puzzles, with most finishing in 6-8 hours. The FMV is minimal and serious, and the story builds to a philosophical ending. A few find the voice acting weak or the story convoluted, but nostalgia is strong.
