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.

Quality story with rich lore

(I've finished this game on Steam so I just copy review here. Yes. This game is that good I bought it here just to write this review) This world has soul. Every character doesn't look shallow. Texts are written in rich language variety which is very interesting though a little challenging because English is not my first language. Bonus point for letting me as player have a hint from time to time from Crispin. I am sorry I ignored this game in my library since July of 2013. But now I can absolutely recommended it to anyone who loves quality Point & Click games (think of Gemini Rue, A New Beginning)! 10/10

Outstanding throwback adventure game

Primordia stands almost alone in the last decade of retro point and click adventures, and is one of the few that could have come out during the mid nineties and really stoodup to and in ways surpassed its peers. The world building is wonderful, from the color palette to the personalities and writing, the outstanding pixel art. The puzzles are highly logical for a point and click game, which is a rather notorious aspect of the genre, and there are choices to make that do impact the flow of the game. With all that said I am not so foolish to say that this game is for everyone. The nature of these games require some puzzle/item grinding at times, and there will likely be moments where the people putting the puzzles together don't necessarily think in the same trains of thought as yourself, and of course you have to enjoy retro graphics and post apocalyptic settings. But for what it tries to be, it trully exels in, and I I couldn't recommend it more to fans of the genre.

A trip back in time

Point and click puzzle games were always my favorite type of puzzle game growing up because they tended to give the story a great deal of attention. This game is no exception. It has a fascinating story that is not only told but discovered. The puzzles are more logical than point and click and require you to really give a little thought rather than handing out hints left and right. This is a must for any point and click puzzle fan.

A Work of Art

Captivating story and visual style, memorable and fleshed-out characters, player choices, meaningful dialogues. Mostly frustration-free if you are ready to strain your brain a little. Common adventure game vices like pixel-hunting or combining random items till something works only on rarest of occasions. An excellent non-immersion-breaking system of hints - if you get stuck, your sidekick will throw a few ideas your way. Voice acting is also excellent. Overall an unforgettable game .

just wow

I had my doubts because of the unique artstyle - but again wadjet eye games takes off again with an amazing game! If you like sci-fi and apocalypse setting, you will love primordia. Even if some puzzles are quite challenging!
