Gemini Rue

I was playing this on Steam and thought I could write a review on GOG. So here I am, Gemini Rue is a great indie adventure with an impressive storyline, brilliant OST and "tech noir" atmosphere which isn't broken by the pixelated low res graphics. Highly recommended to old school adventure fans, even though the puzzles are a bit easy.

i just finished the game a couple of minutes ago and i have to say it is quite the achievement. when it comes to games i'm a total sucker for atmosphere and story and this gem has it in bucket loads. it really manages to hit that blade runner-itch through its stellar vangelis-esque soundtrack (think those moody synth-saxophones). combine that with a hard-boiled noir detective and a capturing story with some nice twists and turns and you have gemini rue. thank you joshua nuernberger and wadjet eye games!

I'm an active gamer since the early 90's, but I've never seen such a good story in a game industry. Ever! It's not very original, it's not something that would blow my mind away, but.. It's just solid, well-made, full of details and memorable characters. As for the adventure gameplay, it's very logical and maybe even trivial, but puzzles here just accompany main story, so it's perfectly fine.

...and emotional. I don't believe there's a way to go wrong with this purchase for anyone who appreciates love put into games like these. In my top, ya bet!

This is as good as adventure games get. The story is brilliantly written and paced, the puzzles are clever and fair, and the whole thing is drenched in rainy, cyberpunk chic. Well worth the price.
