Description
The world ended on the day the bombs fell. Since then, it’s always been like this: disease, hunger, death. The ruling Aristocrats — a faceless oligarchy that controls all resources — have unchallenged authority. There’s never enough food, water, or vaccine to go around. The rich receive regular doses of vaccinations in exchange for their unconditional government support. The poor live in fear, superstition, and squalor until they die.

Amy Wellard, a young woman reluctantly working for the government to qualify for the vaccine lottery, believes there’s a cure — and she’s going to find it. Even if it costs her her life.

Very nice game

I just loved this game. The story was very nice. The puzzles weren't to dificult at all. But not to easy. The only thing that wasn't nice the length of the story ;) This is a good game for beginning adventurers.

Just great

Another gem from Wadjet. Story and universe is really interesting and engaging. Puzzles are fair and logical. Really recommended.

Exceptional

Excellent retro-style graphics of high quality, beautiful and solid storyline, eerie atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic world. The total duration is satisfactoty and the puzzles are not too easy nor too difficult, just the way I like them. There are three different endings (I think) depending on a last-minute choice. All in all, the game is very immersive and I highly recommend it!

One of the best Wadjet Eye games

Although this game has consistently lower ratings on all platform than other Wadjet Eye games, it is one of my personal favorites. In my opinion, the game has not a single bad or illogical puzzle, something I have never experienced in any P&C game before (and I played a lot of them). The game delivers a good story, just the ending and its variations feel a bit forced on you - some don't evolve naturally from the game. I felt highly entertained for the 6-8 hours you need to finish the game.

An Absolute Joy

This game is an absolute gem of a game. It evokes the feel and play style of old-school adventure games (which is a genre I adore) without any of the obnoxious moon logic or dead ends that plague old games. At the same time it has a very modern and moody atmosphere just dripping with mood and drama and emotion. I was genuinely surprised by turns the plots took. Of the classic era adventure games I feel this most closely resembles Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. If you liked that game and others like it, this is a must play.
