Today I played some of this point-and-click and while the story was interesting, moving from one area to the next required getting use to where the pointer needs to be. It is, however, still unclear to me what results in a successful exit.
Later that evening I resumed the game and encountered more bugs. Some text was skipping and after dying half of the screen had gone haywire. It returned to normal after entering the building.
The small resolution and pixelated graphics remind me of older point-and-click games like Loom (1990) or The Dig (1995).
Anyways, I got to the part in the game where you can switch between playing Azriel and playing Delta-Six. Unfortunately, it was getting late and I stopped playing there.
Thoughts:
Pro:
+ Decent story. Plays out like a mystery/thriller.
Neutral:
~ I'm not sure whether switching between Azriel and Delta 6 will be fun or annoying.
~ Retro graphics.
Cons:
- Navigation is clunky
- Encountered some bugs.
Recommendation:
Overall, Gemini Rue is a decent graphic adventure game. I would, however, start, finish or replay various other point-and-click game before returning to this one. With that being said, everybody enjoys different types of stories, and I simply enjoy other stories than the one presented here.
