Description
A DEEP SPACE ADVENTURE BY SEAN CLARK IN COLLABORATION WITH FILMMAKER STEVEN SPIELBERG
An asteroid the size of a small moon is on a crash course toward Earth, and only NASA veteran Boston Low has the expertise to stop it. Along for the ride are award-winning journalist Maggie Robbins and internationally renowned geologist Ludger Brink.
Once the wayward asteroid is nuked into a safe orbit, the trio conducts a routine examination of the rocky surface.
What they uncover is anything but routine.
Low, Brink and Robbins unwittingly trigger a mechanism that transforms the asteroid into a crystal-like spacecraft. The team is hurtled across the galaxy to a planet so desolate, Brink is moved to name it Cocytus, after the 9th circle of Hell in Dante’s inferno. The bleak landscape was obviously once home to a highly evolved civilization, with remnants of sophisticated architecture, advanced technology and an intricate network of underground tunnels.
But no Cocytans.
Who were the original inhabitants of this once rich empire-turned-wasteland? What are those apparitions that mysteriously appear from time to time? Why have Low, Robbins, and Brink been brought to this place? And how can Low keep his team from unraveling in the face of such uncertainty? To return to Earth, they must dig for answers, both on the planet’s surface and deep within themselves.
From the combined talents of LucasArts and legendary Steven Spielberg comes an epic adventure that plunges headlong into the very core of the unknown. And takes you with it.

Underrated GEM of a P&C adventure game.
It's a sci-fi exploration/puzzle game and it's a pretty good one at that. While this is not the best LucasArts adventure game, there's still a lot to like here. The music is PERFECT! The art style is great, if not a little dated for a CD-ROM game from 1995 (though, to be fair, we're now so far removed from that year that we can still appreciate it for the nostalgia). It was one of the few LucasArts adventure games to try and take itself seriously. The voice acting is a little wooden. Orson Scott Card's dialog was surprisingly weak. The writing was a little flat. Play this point-and-click adventure game for the exploration, the art, and the gorgeous music. Still one of my favorites.
