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.

Nice idea, but...

The graphics were more pixelated than what I was expecting from the preview. There was no way to change the resolution in the settings, so I don't know if this was intentionally retro, but it was an eyesore. The "logical" puzzles weren't always so logical (dipping something in grease makes it... sticky??? the right click button on the mouse arbitrarily switches actions for a single item in a single puzzle without any kind of indication?), so I had to look at the walkthrough to get past a couple points. And, if you're agnostic or athiest (or you're religious but recognize evolution as a valid scientific explanation for our forms), the repeated-to-death implication that humans believing they evolved is as ridiculous as robots believing they evolved gets annoying really fast. I'm not sure if the game designers/writers *meant* to make that implication, but if you've ever had an argument over intelligent design with a more conservative family member, some of the dialogue is going to sound very familiar. :P I got about 1/3rd of the way through the game before I lost interest, and quit playing after 2/3rds.

One of the best

I played this game on linux. The experience was top notch - it has a great story and characters were very interesting. There were no issues on linux. I did need some walkthrough/guide for the best ending, but that was it and overall I still enjoyed the game immensely. I feel this is the best title from wadget eye games (between shivah, blackwell series, gemini rue and golden wake - all of them being point and click games).

Great Adventure

I had a great time playing this game. I wasn't sure that a world composed only of robots was going to be for me but it built on me. Interesting likeable characters, great philosophical debates, great old style graphics, fantastic voice acting, great atmosphere and witty sense of humor during the drama. Recommended.

Thought I didnt like these kind of games

I'm one of those people who skip dialogues most of the time in games and don't pay much attention to the story. For me games are mostly about gameplay. This game has almost no gameplay, most of it is story via dialogues + voice acting. Well, it does have some problem solving and thinking, but I used the walkthrough a lot. And yet, I loved it. Truly loved it. This game will stay in a nice corner of my memory until the end of my days. Thank you to the creators for making this lovely game, I can't find any flaws in it. Good job.

When one can feel the love they put into

The art, the music, the characters, the overall mood, the lore, the moral questions... This game is one of my favs in terms of point and click games. Even after playing it like 6 times. :-D
