Skip it

I really really really wanted to like this game. It's got a really interesting premise, alien conspiracies, space stations... and the visuals are really well made. However, the gameplay is dull as hell. The puzzles are terrible, the camera is terrible, the dialogue is cringy and the characters are dull. It baffles me that a point and click has no way of skipping transitions, and there is loads of unecessary dialogue that you must go through over and over again to reach new content.

One fo the best

I played this back when it was released and it is one of my all time favorite adventures. Not many games combined a good but serious story with good puzzles. If you want a break from all those funny adventures and play something more dark this is your game.

Average story, bad gameplay

Graphics has good backgrounds but bad models. Moving around is terrible, making the game not enjoyable.

Boring...

Graphics are ok, the soundtrack and the dialogues are made as if they want to help you fall asleep. The puzzles are random indeed, the gameplay/cameras are the worst I've seen in an adventure game (changing almost randomly). The hero is more than depressing. He feels like he is bored of his own self. I understand he is supposed to be depressed but they overdid it. As far as I have played the game, there's no climax, just the same flat boring pace. I hate giving bad reviews but I tried to like the game and it's really impossible. It's the first game I won't try to finish after dozens I've completed... Waste of money unfortunately...
