Description
The Special Edition of Shardlight includes the game plus the following bonus goodies:
- Soundtrack in MP3 format
- Video clips from the voiceover sessions
- Concept art (character portraits and propaganda posters)
- Desktop wallpapers
- Avatars

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.

Flawed in all the right ways

It's amazing how much this really feels like a game from 1994, warts and all. It runs at a weird low resolution and the UI is fiddly and weird, just like in the olden days. Good voice acting (for the most part, the main character is fantastic though) and really great atmosphere. Totally worth it if you like old adventure games.

Great adventure game!

Yeah, 5 stars is a bit high for this, but there are waaaaaay too many negative comments. I've played Gemini Rue and Technobabylon from Wadjet but IMHO this is better! The previous ones are overrated, while this is underrated. The main heroine is likable and nice. Just a plain girl trying to get by, one can easily relate. While the situation where people are walking in masks on the streets, while "pandemik" rages. Does it remind you of something *cough* *cough*? ;) It has a retro, 90's feel about it. One of the coolest adventures games I've played. And it's very mature. Thumbs up!
