J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars comes with a bonus standalone puzzle game J.U.L.I.A.: Untold.
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is an innovative narrative driven adventure game which is being developed due to overwhelming support from a successful crowdfunding campaign.
The story centers on Rachel Manners, a 35 year old astrobiologist. She is a member of an elite group of scientists, chosen to embark on one of the most critical missions ever conceived on Earth. Now Rachel is alone, orbiting an unknown planet. Her only companions are J.U.L.I.A., the space probe’s artificial intelligence and Mobot, a huge reconnaissance robot. Together, this unlikely trio will explore the mysteries of this solar system. But are they prepared for what they will find?
Story
After countless years of careful space observation, the enormous telescope Chandra 17 suddenly locates a solar system quite similar to our own. As all earthly observatories turned their attention towards this new discovery, a signal of artificial origin is detected from deep within the system.
Reaction was immediate and a mission plan was conceived. No expense was spared in the construction of a massive space probe. It was designed and equipped to be ideally suited for the ultimate challenge: to meet and study extraterrestrial sentient life-forms. Equal care was taken with the crew. Only the most prominent scientists were selected and trained to ideally represent planet Earth. Everything was perfectly planned and success was certain. Yet somehow, everything has gone terribly wrong…
Now, imagine being jolted awake by an emergency alarm. As your surroundings come into focus, you realize you were deep in cryogenic sleep on a vast space probe. But why you are there is an elusive memory. Disoriented, you rush to the control room searching for answers. Once there you learn from the ship’s AI that not only have you been asleep for decades, but you are also the last surviving member of the probe’s crew.
To make matters worse, the probe is severely damaged by a disastrous impact with a passing meteoroid swarm. First, you must make repairs. Not only is your own survival at stake, but you need to find out what happened to the crew and why you alone survived.
Travel to six unique planets and uncover their secrets.
Utilize an ingenious MOBOT – a mobile robot designed for planetary exploration to investigate remote solar systems.
Solve puzzles, gather clues, and communicate with the most temperamental artificial intelligence ever designed.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Nice enough story with some interesting puzzles especially the circuit building mixed in with a lot of dreary trail and error ones. Good enough for the price.
soundtracks and hintbooks aren't things I normally pay for, and thankfully on gog the dlc is bundled with the main game. it serves as a prequel to the adventure, but it's not even the story that's worth playing for (you get to find out how the protagonist ended up alone on the spaceship, nothing you couldn't live without) but the game itself, which is 50 more of the main game's circuitry puzzles. I was a big fan of them while adventuring in space and I'm sure if this were sold as a stand-alone puzzler, it would reach more people.
it can bug out sometimes (pay attention to the number of available components, you can end up with more or less than you need and won't be able to complete the level) and you have to edit the settings file yourself for basic stuff like audio volumes and windowed mode, but apart from these it's a neat concept and the dlc provides more content than I expected.
The game is a nice point-and-click with interesting riddles and puzzles, but the story is unfortunately could be better, have less strange gaps etc. But overall it was still a nice small game to play, just right for two or three evenings.
I'd call it the Myst for our generation. It's everything I'd hoped it would be. Graphics and video are excellent, and the puzzles are the right level of complexity and not too difficult. There was even a Caesar Cipher in there. I couldn't ask for more, except a sequel!!!
