I liked overall atmosphere of the game, it somewhat reminds me of Metriod Prime especially with the ambience in the background. I wasn't able to get past the first area. I taking the number I saw which were, "14" and "02" but it didn't open the door. I guess this isn't my type of game but I'm sure other people really enjoyed it. I also used a lab setting in first long term game, "Path of the Martyrs". Although this is probably what would happen to said lab after 50 to 100 years.

Thanks for playing and for your feedback! Yes, the door password may not be very clear... I didn't want to make it very easy! 😏

Incredibly acccomplished entry. From the very beggining you feel completely lost and intrigued with the story. The handling of audio is exceptionally well done, and it adds an extra layer of inmersion to the whole product. Graphically this is incredible as well: particles, light and shadows, focused and unfocused textures... there is an amazing amount of detail to it, and the fact that everything is customizable to a certain point on the graphic options of the menu just makes it even better.

Amazing work, overall. Would love to play an expanded version of it. Congratulations!

Very nice! It's very mysterious and reminds me of Myst. The graphics are also very good!

Incredible graphics! I liked how you find the little snippets of the story while playing. I had some trouble pointing the little hotspot to the right place (especially when trying to hit the keys on the keypad), but I guess that is my fault, I should have lowered/raised the mouse sensibility. Great game, I would like to see some more of this story

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! Yeah, I found very interesting the story of the human being creation and I wanted to give another view. Actually the story is more deeper, but as I said this is a small part of the whole game, so I couldn't develop the whole story.

I failed to finish it at the moment I am writing these lines (I opened the case but couldn't find the final password). However I have a good idea of the whole game and it was very good, as usual! All your games have incredible 3d graphics with immersive worlds. The story could be more developed, but the voice acting of Klemens Koering and the intro cutscene are new in your creations, and a really great addition. No big surprise, but well done as usual ;)

WOW! Thanks for the comments, yes the voice of Klemens and the music of Python Blue has been a plus for the quality of the game, I'm very grateful for their collaboration.
And yes, the story is deeper, but because I haven't been able to develop the whole game part of the story has been lost...

A game that shows all the know-how of the creator, with efficient and varied gameplay, in beautiful backgrounds, with a particularly engaging atmosphere and an intriguing scenario.

Thank you so much, as always you're very kind with your analysis, and I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
