A masterpiece! Awesome amazing !

A really masterpiece! I extended the gameplay time over three days. Most hard was in a beginning. What to do with door )) (yes it’s strange) everything else is ok.
Good work! Спасибо!

Tolles Spiel

Eine sehr interessante Geschichte und ein tolles Spiel

This is a waste of money

This game is terrible you can’t get anything done because if you look at videos you will note that their is a wooden file and you can’t get it if you don’t get it at the beginning of the game. You need this file. Anyways the other thing thats supposed to happen is this man Clem and he’s supposed to talk to you about calligraphy witch doesn’t happen. Don’t waste your money on this game.

Nice and long but a bit too easy?

The premise is very close to the knuckle of what is going on at the moment but makes our current situation look fun and cute in comparison..

Lots of different places to explore and lots of storyline without too much unnecessary dialogue.

Good voice acting and nothing irritating about it..

Fun retro style point and click with very dark notes.

Negatives
Objects tend to find their place very quickly within the place they are used so little backwards and forwards but with that, no real challenge to be found. Arguably one or two ‘puzzles’ to solve with so much heavy hinting to ensure the idiots playing don’t miss anything.
Linear playing style until the very end so different endings can be achieved just by replaying the final
moments.

Worth a try 100% and the storyline and length is good enough to keep going. Maybe next time give us point and click fans a bit of credit.. don’t worry we enjoy using an object on every single thing in every scene available over and over. It’s what we do..

I wanted to like this game

The mechanics and voice acting and art is top notch! My issue is the same of that of a lot of modern day point and click games.The character just seems bored like they don’t want to be in the game and they are unwilling to even think about performing any actions that might be interesting.

Just imagine some snobby pretty goody two shoes that doesn’t like getting her hands dirty and that’s the protagonist. In the game she’s a mechanic, but you wouldn’t know that playing her. Pepper in the ham fisted political propaganda of our current year and there you go. There is definitely a demographic for a game like this, and they obviously worked really hard at flushing out this world, the art is also amazing!

That’s why it’s so disappointing these days to play the retro style adventure game only to be smacked with the vapid boring mindset of a modern-day mary sue protagonist.This game is supposed to be post apocalyptic yet everyone acts like they need to be polite to each other.

Just imagine the apocalypse happened in the only ones that survived are the students at UC Berkeley and you pretty much have this game.

On the nose

Playing this game in the age of Covid-19 is an experience that might not feel like much of an escape at first, but ultimately provides good catharsis. But for me, the game’s best moment was a little exploration of the distinction between curing a disease and managing it.

Post Apocalyptic Adventure

Definitely one of the darker games I’ve played recently. Technobabylon is still my favorite (along with Whispers of a Machine), but I enjoyed it. As one reviewer pointed out, it definitely reminds you of the current COVID-19 situation, but also very much different. I enjoyed Amy Wellard’s story and the environment in which she is placed in. One of my complaints, although I won’t take a star off, is that sometimes it felt like the Examine vs Touch an object was too similar or lazy writing. Sometimes they’re both the same. This is the first point and click I’ve felt this way with. Puzzles are easy (there’s a somewhat difficult one near the beginning) and story is easy to understand. The voice acting is superb. Overall, an enjoyable game, but there isn’t any special features besides point and click; you’d know what I’m talking about if you’ve played the above mentioned games.

Super enjoyable

Love the feel and gameplay- such a nice nostalgic vibe; clever and engrossing. More please

Great game *with comments

5 stars for support this game.
I like it, and best of all its graphics.
it's good but more things come to the end, game story and game plot become weaker. Waiting for more great quests from developers!

Dystopian Heaven

If you’re an old school adventure gamer, what are u waiting for? Get the bundle! So much fun. If you remember Freddy Pharkus Frontier Pharmacist, you will love this game. It’s Sierra Personified. Don’t walk, run. Great f’in story that unfortunately matches Covid19 and a dark novelist from 1981.

Genuine, beautiful and sad

A genuine game made by genuine people. Outstanding voice acting from a rich cast of actors (I laughed so much at the bloopers!), and in the end I was really sad to leave Amy and the others, to whom I got really attached without realising it.

The world is beautiful and melancholic, but also surprisingly dark and gruesome at some key points. The main character is very likeable, but that might be subjective.

Story might feel a bit stretched here and there, but overall it’s a beautiful journey. Only complaint might be that I would have loved a slightly longer experience, but considering the size of the team what they’ve done is incredible - I was shocked when I read the ending credits.

5/5 would recommend.

Best in the Genre

You can’t do much better than this in the point-and-click genre. Wonderfully engaging, great music, and a satisfying story. It’s the kind of game that you miss once it’s over. About 3-5 days of gameplay depending on your free time.

Another amazing story from Wadjet Eye Games

Techno Babylon is my favorite of their games, but this was a very close 2nd. Outstanding story line and character development. So much so I feel like this could have been a movie or tv series. I love point and click puzzle games, so if you do too, this is a must play.

One of the best In series

Very good game - plot and dialogue superbly written

Excellent adventure game

Voices, graphics, adventure were all on point. This brought me back to the Sierra online titles of yesterday!
One of my favorites.

stuck

Where I need to find a corpse for the reaper. Read some walkthroughs. However the dialouge option won‘t pop up in the walkietalkie.

Another great Wadjet Eye game/storyline

Survivors in some kind of post apocalyptic world where people take dangerous jobs for the chance of getting access to vital medical treatment. The plot thickens...
Totally engaging. Slightly mind-blowing.
Keep them coming, Wadjet Eye!

NO SOUND...

...On IOS (iphone 6s) what a waste of £5 😖

Great game

Wow. Great story great gameplay. If you want to play a point and click adventure then this.

Sehr zum empfehlen

Da passt einfach alles. Für Fans von klassischen Point and Click Adventures ein muss!
