Story okay but not much depth. Choices don't seem to matter much just carry on along a linear path. Frustration is the time limited on the conversation bubble, times out way to quickly so clearly doesn't affect anything in game.
To derive pleasure from it, it requires synergy and calming your mind. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with experiencing the mystery and feeling of unspecified danger of Regis III. The graphics are of a good standard, the soundtrack is excellent, and those familiar with Stanisław Lem's work will also find many easter eggs here. I was a bit bothered by the lack of manual save options though.
Stanislaw Lem was an awesome writer and this game managed to grasp the beauty of his books. The full story i heavily pre-scripted, but the team did amazing job in creating an interactive novel.
The main challenge of this game is occasional navigation in caves and other areas. Everything else is more or less linear.
The graphics is outstanding. Everything in the style of 50-60th.
Summary: I did not read the original book, but after finishing this game I will look for it in the library.
Very good story, sorta a prequel to the S. Lem story itself. With an open en, which could lead into the story of Lem.
Note for Steam Deck users, it's unplayable at some point (when going to the Alliance base). I guess it just needs to much VRAM. It also crashes on SD when playing for longer periods.
Stanislas Lem - Never read his novels but loved the game
I have never been a big book reader; but I have read many old sci-fi novels in my life (to the end ;) and imo they are the best, and this story is great ! no spoilers but I went along with this game, it's slow paced and beautiful but oh boy I died in a way only my craziest nighmares could come up with ! still getting over it, and the game has many outcomes, I just I have to go back and change my futur, but another day ;)
