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

An adventure in classic costume

It's sometimes hard to get all the riddles but it is a nice game and a great setting.

A serious point and click

Watch any new sci-fi movie (eg The Martian/Ad Astra etc) you can see where the formula came from - of course Speilberg was involved in this one. Great at the time and fond memories

Classic Adventure - underrated

Very atmospheric game with Wagner music and Industrial Light and Magic effects, supported by director Steven Spielberg. In any case it has much better camera movement than many other games from the pixel era. The only downsides are: the German language synchro is bad and - as in some other older adventures - you can get stuck for quite some time in the game, if you have forgotten to push a tiny button or a little switch.

Fun enough story, pretty bad puzzles

The puzzles are really quite bad but the story is fine, recommend playing with a walkthrough
