Best story in years for me!
I really like the depth of the characters and how the story turned out. Honestly in most games and movies you can see way before what will happen, but Technobabylon managed to surprise me big time! So much, that I even want to translate it into my native language Hungarian. We'll see if it is possible somehow. ;-)

Brilliant quest game!
I'm playing quests games till 1988. These gameplay, scenario and other game's features are one of the best from huge numbers of games were finished by me. Logically based situational puzzles, well-thought-out dialogues, music and characters creates unforgettable cyberpunk atmosphere. Also would love to point out the original way to use and communicate with game objects and inventory of different spaces in game. I feel that I was not wasting my money buying this game!

emulation = admiration - comprehension
i loved and played many Wadjet Eye games and have always said how it's asy to see their love and respect for the genre. their retro style manages not to feel old but caringly linked to classics without missing innovation; pixelart is great and they pour quality and sheer fondness in their work. all granted. too bad this is a "Beneath a Steel Sky" rip-off with a flavour for bad/unlikeable characters and lack of ideas with a hint of PC/SJW aftertaste. originality is sure hard to come by, but key-elements and all the great themes (even some mechanics and even clever aenigmas) were already said, done and overall explored 25 years ago by the guys from Revolution Software... probably better, surely in a more innovative way. BaSS had its falws, mind you, one of those was its short span and somewhat linear structure, but had his keen world, lore, aesthetics and approach to tech/ethics and themes like infospace, mind, artificial life and computer brain, it stands today as a great gem and at Wadjet Eye KNEW THIS ALL TO WELL. i think that in this case, with this game it's safe to say Wadjet Eye guys were really showing what means that emulation is the highest form of admiration but also that admiration is the farthest from comprehension: - you cannot go any deeper in showing your admiration for something than when emulating it; - alas, copying is VERY FAR from deep comprehension and understanding what makes something great. in short, "Technobabylon" IMHO *is* a decent but mediocre game, and its narrative it's just a tad modernized, yet more ineffective retelling of what was so good in "Beneath a Steel Sky". is it worth to play? sure. innovative, independent, original, always effective? absolutely not.

Great
Good story with a few dips, puzzles can be a bit frustrating every now and then but are not impossible to figure out on your own. Very enjoyable even though I rarely, if ever, play point and click games.

Great game!
Great storytelling, great puzzles too. There were a few unintuitive puzzles, but most of the times the puzzles were challenging and fun. The universe that has been created is very well done, believable and relating to many contemporary issues. Definitely recommended!
