## What is Primordia?

What happened to the humans?

In a desolate, ruined world inhabited only by robots, the taciturn android Horatio searches for answers. Where did he come from? Where have all the humans gone? And what, if any, was his role in it?

Torn from his peaceful existence in the crashed airship, the UNIIC, Horatio and his sarcastic floating friend Crispin are forced to travel to Metropolis, City of Glass and Light, to retrieve their stolen power core. What they discover there changes their understanding of the world and their place in it, for better or worse.    

Full voice acting, featuring Logan Cunningham (the voice of Bastion) as Horatio.

-- Reviews --

Adventure Gamers - "Beautiful, surrealistic retro graphics; likeable characters and a deceptively sprawling plot." 4/5

Eurogamer - "Primordia is delightful, smart and packed with personality." 7/10

Rock Paper Shotgun - "A cast of thoroughly insane-in-the-short-circuited-membrane side characters keeps the ride nice and lively as well, complimenting the oppressively dreary setting with a strong mix of mystery driven drama, Old West frontier charm, and dark humor."

Gamezebo - "Primordia is a very good game, packed with enough secrets, surprises and twists to keep it interesting from start to finish." 4/5

### 3/5 — Bien mais sans plus

*2024-06-25*

Alors le jeu est très bien. Je préfère les autres jeux un peu plus colorés, l’univers est très monochrome donc moins de plaisir pour les yeux. J’aurais pu mettre une meilleure mais je trouve le jeu un peu plat, manque d’aventure ou de rebondissement. Et ce qui m’a le + dérangée j’ai un bon niveau B2 en anglais mais il y a énormément de textes à lire ça devient très vite lassant. Il y a aussi une énorme histoire écrite à lire et comprendre pas assez bien expliquée avec bcp de vocabulaire particulier à cet univers.

### 5/5 — A masterpiece

*2023-09-24, version 1.0*

If a game has Logan Cunningham and Abe Goldfarb in it, you know it’s going to be good. There’s a unique and imaginative world, a quirky cast of robots, melancholy humor, and a mysterious past to discover. Puzzles are standard fare for adventure games, some clever, some likely to inspire exclamations of “b’sod!”

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-01-10, version 1.0*

I really enjoyed this. Loved the graphics and level design.

### 5/5 — Прекрасная игра

*2022-10-15*

Одна из лучших представителей жанра. Из плюсов: интересный сеттинг, атмосфера, запоминающиеся персонажи и непростые головоломки.
Вообще сюжет очень напоминает Beneath a Still Sky. Тут и главный герой — мусорщик из пустошей, и саркастичный робот-помощник, и огромный дистопичный город, управляемый злым ИИ, который «везде». Чего тут нет, так это фирменного для BaSS юмора (не считая шуток помощника), но зато в общем тон сюжета куда более мрачный.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-10-14, version 1.0*

The plot, characters and overall story is well written. The artwork blends nicely with the adventure and the many puzzles and inventory items can change gameplay, endings. My low point on this game was the humor, a wisecracking robot companion that distracted from the adventure, the mood setting. Music and sounds are well crafted. Another adventure? Please.

### 4/5 — So close to flawless

*2022-04-22, version 1.0*

I enjoyed the game, it had interesting challenges and superbly atmospheric.  The artwork and environment was eerie and intriguing.  I wish it was a longer game.  My disappointment was the use of humor and the banter.  It ruined what I was hoping for a gritty serious adventure into a dark harsh world.   It degraded that effect for me.

### 1/5 — Sound issue

*2021-04-14*

I have no sound on iPhone 12. iOS 14.4.2

### 4/5 — A classic adventure game to revive the genre

*2020-10-15, version 1.0*

Plot was good, puzzles were challenging enough, voiceover work was excellent, a retro vibe and feel even further peaked my interest. The only reason I didn’t give this title five stars is due to a crash that renders the game currently unfinishable. Said crash occurs later in the game involving a puzzle solution of melting a door. Research shows this crash has existed in the Steam forums from the PC version which was reported back in October of 2017. I hope one of the devs sees this particular review, as I would love to finish the title.

### 5/5 — A solid philosophical jaunt

*2020-08-19, version 1.0*

Playing through this game, I found plenty to think about - a bit of Foucault here (Domus and Megalopolis, Panopticon), Ayn Rand there, and a bit of Orwell too. Add to this no less than two disparate Messianic visions and your basic dystopic bargain, and you’ve got a lot to reflect on by game’s end. 

The game mechanics are well planned too. While it is always possible to get to a good ending and a bad ending, choices made along throughout the game will determine whether you can get the best ending and the worst ending. 
 and puzzles drive most of the action,

### 5/5 — A great traditional point and click adventure

*2020-05-10, version 1.0*

Masterful storyline. Short and sweet dialogs give you more game play. You play the game , it doesn’t play you. Music so perfect you forget it’s playing. Intense smart intuitive puzzles, some very tricky. Hard to put this game down. I love the characters’ naming conventions. Original scenery.
