WAY More Than the Sum of its Parts
I'm a longtime GOG customer, having purchased and played 50+ games here, but this is actually the first review I've written for the site. I'm doing it because I found this game genuinely touching and encouraging, and I want it to get its due attention. Let me first say what you've probably read in other reviews, which is that (despite my rating) this is by no means a perfect or even near perfect game. It has many clear flaws, including a clunky interface, a poor English translation, uneven voice over work, choppy animation and some cliche story elements and plot holes. But trust me when I say you won't remember any of that after playing this game. What you will remember is a truly gripping, affecting and thoughtful gaming experience that just isn't that common these days. The environmental theme provides possibly the most high stakes scenario currently in existence, and while the game does lapse into preachiness on occasion, this is a serious problem that I frankly believe we don't do enough preaching about given the potential consequences. It's refreshing to see a game take up that mantle. The characters are fleshed out, nuanced and memorable. The scientist Bent Svennson is particularly fascinating, as he grapples with perceived failures in his life's work, in maintaining his family amid the tragic loss of his wife, and with the burden of the world being suddenly placed on his shoulders after so many years. The puzzles are truly inventive and challenging, without zany adventure-game leaps of logic that would be sorely out of place. And the ending manages to be cautiously optimistic instead of either bleak or maudlin. I play a lot of adventure games, and while this one isn't as technically accomplished as some of the heavy hitters, I can say unequivocally that I will remember it for just as long. If you love the genre, plus good storytelling with a message, you owe it to yourself to give this game a shot.
