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.
  • Nearly 200 locations and hundreds of puzzles
  • Robert Patrick of T2 as the voice of Boston Low
  • Special effects contributed by Industrial Light & Magic
  • Dialogue contributed by award-winning sci-fi writer Orson Scott Card
  • Alluring Wagnerian musical score sets the epic tone

Waves of nostalgia and naive hope

I remember when I played this game when it was released; the antagonism for the core protagonist by the supporting characters left a sour taste in my mouth then as it did 30 years later. How the main character never stands up for himself and takes on the role of a selfless punching bag overshadowed the now somewhat naive message of hope the game ends with. A game like this could not be made now, because people know better.

Slow but interesting

The story is good, though the game drags at times. The pizzles are challenging without being too overly complicaed like vertain other point and click games.

Beautiful, pity about the gameplay.

Very good atmosphere, science fiction aesthetic, and beautiful pixel artwork, marred by some bad puzzle design. When stuck, use a guide, don't subject yourself to the bad elements. Enjoy it as a beautiful piece of sci-fi.
