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.

A well-developed story and game world

I thought this did what an adventure game should quite well - not *quite* as good as the best (Monkey Island etc) but pretty close - give you a well rounded story and game world, with enjoyable puzzles. For me the game world was the best thing - like Technobabylon the setting had a deep richness that encouraged exploration and examination. For seasoned puzzlers you may find the puzzles a bit easy but personally I didn't mind because they were all logical - no putting sellotape on a cat to make a moustache.

Amazing atmosphere and story!

This was a great, gorgeous adventure game. It can be compared with the epic greats like Monkey Island or Broken Sword. I play a lot of adventure point'n'clickers and this is a true gem. Usually Wadjet Eye games are good, but not great. This is the best of the lot. I have played almost all their games and this takes the cake. Congrats!

Extremely good, with few exceptions

The game is extremely good, story and puzzle wise, although they could be harder. All except two puzzles are logical as well, only two puzzles require you to do something that makes no sense in the context (e.g. giving an item to a person that says nothing about it when you talk to them to get another item that you need while your inventory is full with stuff that any sane person could use to achieve the same, just fine). But apart from that, the post-apocalyptic world is intriguing and the music is splendid once more. Doesn't beat Primordia, but then again, what does?
