And the Universe star(e)s back at you



<span class="bold">J.U.L.I.A. Among the Stars</span>, a narrative-driven sci-fi adventure game about unlocking the mysteries of a foreign solar system, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows and Linux, with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and a 50% launch discount.

It is the most carefully-laid plans that usually go awry in the most catastrophic manner. Top astrobiologist Rachel Manners wakes up from a decades-long cryogenic sleep inside a massive space probe, fully equipped and meticulously designed to carry out a recon mission on a solar system similar to our own. The rest of the crew is gone, the space ship is heavily damaged, and Rachel has no idea where in the universe she is. But perhaps J.U.L.I.A., the ship's A.I., does.

Rachel sets out to explore six exotic planets, accompanied by the hulking MOBOT, a reconnaissance robot that was built specifically for this mission. She must solve dozens of puzzles, overcome the obstacles of the unfamiliar terrain, and gather clues, in order to learn the reasons behind the mission's apparent failure and her crew's demise. How come she is the only one who survived? Did the mysterious signal that got them here have anything to do with all this? And how long will she manage to put up with J.U.L.I.A.'s shenanigans?



Join a lonely astronaut, a huge robot, and a temperamental A.I. as they venture in <span class="bold">J.U.L.I.A. Among the Stars</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% launch discount will last until April 13, 1:59 PM UTC.

Breja: "innovative narrative driven adventure game"

Walking simulator... in SPAAAAAAAAACE!
It's more of a point and click. :)
Looks like a great game. Planet & space exploration is right up my alley (the reason I loved Mass Effect) so I guess I'll enjoy this game very much.

tburger: EDIT: The game looks VERY nice but I'm a bit suspicious about OS (modern, DX10) vs hardware (128MB VRAM 1 GB RAM) requirements...Is everything ok on a game card?
Yep, it's all correct since the game isn't 3D; what you see in the screenshots are static images with some subtle effects like clouds, smoke etc. Think Myst in space in some way, as muntdefems already said.

JudasIscariot: For the Linux version, there will be a separate desktop shortcut created and you can also run the game via a separate terminal command :)

./start.sh -l, --dlc - start J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars Untold DLC HD

./start.sh -d, --dlc-sd - start J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars Untold DLC SD
Oooooh... I see! Serves me well for not creating desktop shortcuts ever when installing GOG games (well, or any game for that matter :P)

PS: I know what I'll be playing tonight!
I added my review but it got the rating wrong! It appears as 3/5 instead of 4/5. I can't edit it. Help?

Prepurchased?
You could play it from the moment you bought it.

Ah, so I could. In fact, I already have it downloaded from back then. This bronchitis has really been messing me up.

Writing to Support would be a bit more effective since the ratings are not something I can change myself :)

How did I miss this during the Insomnia sale? Maybe it came up while my time was being wasted working.

Most of the advance release titles were infrequent it seemed, at least for what little time I participated. The one that showed up the most for me was Subterrain. I only saw Jotun go by once, and this one once or maybe twice. This is the only one I leapt on though.
