Description
What happened to the humans? Set in a post-apocalyptic world strewn with cast-off pieces of machinery, Primordia tells the story of Horatio Nullbuilt, who finds his peaceful existence threatened when a rogue robot steals his power core—the sole source of energy fueling his ship and keeping him alive. To recover it, the robot and his companion, Crispin, must leave behind their idyllic home for Metropol, the city of glass and light. Their quest to reclaim what has been taken away will lead Horatio to unexpected discoveries about his origins—and a new understanding of the humans who walked the earth before him.

  • Puzzles that emphasize logical thinking and exploration rather than trial and error or pointless backtracking.
  • A streamlined interface, player-friendly design combined with the challenge and depth of the classics.
  • Features over fifty hand-drawn rooms to explore, dozens of distinctive characters to meet, and gorgeous painted cutscenes to soak in.

solid sci-fi storytelling

I haven't played a point-and-click adventure since I was in the third grade. But, I've been on an indie/retro/story-heavy/sci-fi kick lately, and this game fit all those categories, so I bought it. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The voice acting is superb, possibly the best I've ever encountered in a video game; it really immerses you in the story and get's you invested in the characters. The story itself is very well executed, and I say this as a seasoned sci-fi fan. As a game I don't really feel qualified to comment too much on it, other than to say the puzzles varied in difficulty with a few that were pleasantly challenging and a couple almost maddeningly so. I had to search online for some hints to get unstuck a couple times, but bear in mind this is my first point-and-click in many years. Overall, I'd say buy it for the story if you have even a passing interest in science fiction, of which this game is an excellent example.

Lovely & Witty!

I really really liked this game. The art is great, the story is original, the voice acting is good, the puzzles aren't ridiculous, and Crispin has got to be my favorite game character ever! I had a blast playing this, I only wish it were longer!

One of the best adventure games

Originally I was going to title this: "One of the best modern adventure games," but that might imply it can't stand on its own feet compared with the classics. If you are an adventure game fan. Good puzzles. Good story. Good dialogue. I'd suggest just playing it. Don't spoil anything. You can be angry at me if it's not your thing when you're done. I played it ages ago and it has left memories I won't forget.

Beautiful tale in a decadent future

i never liked Point and click adventures, this game changed all of that and made me into a fan of the developer the beautiful pixel art style makes it seem as though its from the early 2000's late 1990's but its much better than that. there are a few annoying logic puzzles but i looked past that because of the amzing visuals, original interesting story, funny and thought out characters and hauntingly blade runner like music Buy this game

A wonderful world, with sarcasm a virtue

Another very good game from this studio. The gameplay is calssic and good. But something else caught me even more and makes this one stand out: the characters and the setting! I was surprised by them ... and loved them. At first, after the first dialouge, I was sceptic how well the sarcastic sidekick would fit in. Sarcastic oneliners in a dark, decaying world of machines? Would that work? But it is just great how the two of them play along, how the oneliners come out, how sometimes they almost break the 4th wall. Very entertaining, very well set up, very well written! Just the final seems a bit short, especially compared with Technobabylon. The unused items and locations seem to be proof that they had more ideas, finally unused. That makes me a bit sad. I could have spent more time in this world. I would have enjoyed it.
