A suprisingly good journey
I played through the game a while about half year ago. It sat for months in my library and I decided to finally give it a try, since I had good experiences with Deadalic games before.
Since the main idea of the plot revolves around the destruction of our ecosystem, I wen't in expecting a very preachy story. But to my suprise the game didn't go this route, atleast not as much as I had expected. (Not to say the game is wothout though) The whole way through the game I wanted to know how the story will continue, what will happen next. And when the credits were rolling down my screen I felt very glad for finally picking up this game. The backgrounds look great an the graphics style is appealing. Atleast the german voice acting was very good too, although I heard that the english voices were a bit of a let down. Another great thing is the exceptional Soundtrack, that really delivers the emotions. Many tracks evoke a melancholic feeling and really fit the scenes. Though for all the great things there is ofcourse a reason this is only a 4/5 rating. The game (I played the Humble Bundle version) was extremly unstable at launch and had some technical problems. Most of them got fixed with the Final Cut, but the game crashed 2-3 times for me. Some of the comic-style cutscene panels were in the wrong language, while the audio was correct. Though this only happened very rarely I think it is worth mentioning. The characters are not as great as the story itself, but not really a letdown either. I personally liked the male protagonist, but I really disliked the female counter-part at the beginning. Although I changed my opinion later down the line, she is not my favourite.
The puzzles a bit of a mixed bag. Some were a bit far fetched and I encountered a bug in one of them. I have seen worse in other games, they are not the highlight though.
In the end I can only say that I really enjoyed my journey and I would recommend, giving this game a try. =)
