I enjoy a good point and click adventure, but this one truly takes the cake. This game is going down as one of my all-time favorite games, ever. Zvuková karta: DirectX compatible soundcard.Grafická karta: Resolution of 1920x1080 with at least 512 MB VRAM accelerated card.Important: The game uses only fixed resolution 1920x1080 or 1280x720.You'll get a beautiful hintbook, soundtrack and one more game called J.U.L.I.A: Untold. solve puzzles, gather clues and communicate with the most temperamental artificial intelligence ever designed?.travel to six unique planets and uncover their secrets?.solve the mystery of the mission’s failure and locate the missing crew?.utilize an ingenious MOBOT – a mobile robot designed for planetary exploration to investigate this solar system and all its wonders?.step into the spacesuit of Rachel Manners and find out why she was the sole survivor of this ill-fated expedition?.Not only is your own survival at stake, but you need to find out what happened to the crew and why you alone survived.

To make matters worse, the probe is severely damaged by a disastrous impact with a passing meteoroid swarm. Once there you learn from the ship’s AI that not only have you been asleep for decades, but you are also the last surviving member of the probe’s crew. Disoriented, you rush to the control room searching for answers. But why you are there is an elusive memory. As your surroundings come into focus, you realize you were deep in cryogenic sleep on a vast space probe. Now, imagine being jolted awake by an emergency alarm. Yet somehow, everything has gone terribly wrong…

Everything was perfectly planned and success was certain. Only the most prominent scientists were selected and trained to ideally represent planet Earth. It was designed and equipped to be ideally suited for the ultimate challenge: to meet and study extraterrestrial sentient life-forms. No expense was spared in the construction of a massive space probe. Reaction was immediate and a mission plan was conceived. As all earthly observatories turned their attention towards this new discovery, a signal of artificial origin is detected from deep within the system. Among the Stars largely took what it got right in the already enjoyable original version and improved upon it, then added some welcome new content on top.”Īfter countless years of careful space observation, the enormous telescope Chandra 17 suddenly locates a solar system quite similar to our own. It’s very well written and I found it a bit of a ‘page turner’ the ending is satisfying and makes sense.” It’s definitely a refreshing, thorough and intricate take on the genre. “Overall I highly recommend this game, I think it might be somewhat of an unexpected treasure for those who love old style point and click adventures. But if you’re interested in seeing what’s been done with the narrative, I’d go for it.“J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is a very well written and beautiful game, especially when you take into account that most of it was done by two people.” If you’re an old hand, I imagine it’ll get repetitive and frustrating quickly.

It really does sound like it provides not much of interest for those of you looking for innovative puzzling.

Did I ever mention that I used to buy game guides for PC games which I couldn’t actually play? I’ve read through the plot and puzzle solutions to more adventure games than I’ve ever played. If it’s free, there’s no guilt in totally using walkthroughs from the word go and just seeing what there is to see. Will I Be Happy If Someone Else Buys It For Me? I’m a big fan of games in a standard style attempting to do interesting things with narrative, and it sounds like this might be an under-appreciated gem in that area. That sounds neat! If I get stuck on something that isn’t fun to fiddle with, I’ll just use a walkthrough.

Basically, after excoriating the game for having tedious puzzles that grow repetitive, the reviewer said that the story was full of unexpected emotional and conceptual depth. More important than the fact that it’s well-liked is the fact that even the most damning review ended up sounding really enticing. Playing a 35 year-old astrobiologist is a far cry from playing another person whose primary mode of communication with alien species is via bullets. What kept my attention was the fact that the setting is unique for all that sci-fi is overplayed in games. I’ve gotten used to them being self-consciously retro or low-budget, not splurging on really nice looking static scenes. I think initially I didn’t comprehend entirely that it’s a point-and-click adventure.
