A World Like no Other
I went into this just expecting a good Point-and-Click Adventure up to the usual standard put forth by Wadjet Eye, and what I got was a masterpiece; Wormwood Studios created something absolutely incredible here. You've seen post-Apocalyptic before, but never TRULY post-Apocalyptic; you quickly discover that humanity is absolutely gone, and long enough that the robots left behind aren't confident in their true origin. What follows is a deeply philosophical view of religion, practicality, the nature of authority and its responsibilities, and so much more; I could feel the thoughts burning in my head as I processed all of the possibilities, and everything that was put forth here. In addition to the general writing, the characters are also excellent; for the most part, the game plays it straight, and even the wise-cracking sidekick had the perfect tone that made him likeable, rather than obnoxiously out of line. Even the NPCs had some absolute gems among them that worked together to build this unbelievable world. The art direction is also a thing of absolute wonder. The post-apocalypse is a rust-colored desert, eventually leading to a rust-colored city, but there's a sort of ruined beauty in it, too. What really struck me was the character designs; everyone's a robot, so they had the potential to all look very different from each other, and they took advantage of that! A robot can look like anything, and here, there are dozens of intriguing designs, even if the majority are just silent passersby on the streets. For some reason, a lot of it reminds me of SaGa Frontier, and from me, that's high praise. The music is largely atmospheric, but it's still music, and you'll notice it's there; the soundtrack is just lovely! If you like Point-and-Click Adventures, I'd absolutely recommend this.
