Play the whole scriptwelder collection in order. Starting with the Deep Sleep trilogy, then the Don't Escape trilogy, then this. Trust me it's worth it.

I bought this years ago but finally got around to playing it; easily one of, if not the best, point and click franchises. scriptwelder's flash-games already felt like premium experiences, this goes even further above and beyond. 11/10, very well worth every penny.

I played both the trilogies; Don't Escape and Deep Sleep, and also Primal Sands. I played these multiple times so I am quite familiarized with the story, and let me tell you its very well put together. This game however ties it all in such a sublime way. The Night Folks are mentioned in some notes and can appear during the gameplay. Also the blue crystals are mentioned on other notes that explain how they interact with the story background. And considering both these objects were introduced years ago is one hell of foreshadowing from the developer. Not to mention the login easter egg you can use on the official sidereal plexus website . Scriptwelder is just brilliant, a genius, I wasn’t expecting such a masterpiece to emerge from those simple flash games, yet here we are.

It's a point & click adventure game for people who don't necessarily like point & click games. It solves many issues that are usually annoying: - items/tools can be used as many times as you want, they don't (almost never) magically break after single use - many tools can be used for the same purpose, as long as it makes sense - it's rather clear what you can pick up and use, what are the interaction areas and if they can be used to progress the game or not - getting around is quick & easy, as is inventory management (however ideally you could run up to an interaction element when using an item on it; instead you need to run up there first and then use an item) This design does much to eliminate the frustration of looking for non-obvious solutions that the creators designed, but you need to guess. There's no "combine banana with a toothbrush" type solutions. There's still some of the "it wouldn't work" while trying to do something you're absolutely certain would work - I wish there were more contextual hints in those scenarios. There's also few seemingly obvious dialogue options missing at times to ask for help, and the one area to progress the ending is a one probably easiest to miss of all . Overall however it's a very pleasant game to play, despite being point & click adventure game. It also has an innovative approach where the challenges you face can be different each playthrough, meaning some items and interaction elements will not be useful or meaningful for your game. I liked it, since the world doesn't seem a like puzzle crafted to suit your specific needs, it seems more like a real place with items and objects that are there cause it makes sense for them to be there. It's a better trade-off, where the solutions are more down to earth, but not all items are useful. Repeatability is reasonably high thanks to that, and while I wish the game was more aware of the second playthrough, I found it mostly pleasant. The story is surprisingly good. Not everything makes total sense, but it mostly maintains the suspension of disbelief, it's interesting and surprising in scale. One big weird choice for me was that Cate simultaneously is a low level, need-to-know basis employee, however at the same time has a deep knowledge of the very details of the deepest secrets of the company at the end. All you'd need to do was to have like a dying scientist in the final location, who explains these details. There's even a set up for it in Lab 13, but it goes nowhere. . Another example of a weird thing that's quite visible is - why the other people outside our team in subsequent days don't seem to be suffering from the extreme nightly dangers we barely survive, despite our careful preparation and a good shelter they lack? The dialogues also can be rough around the edges, but they are okay. I'd say they are neither a strength nor a weakness of the game. The survival challenges are usually well designed. The one I didn't like though was the bandits. It's the least realistic and includes some weird moralistic elements of "are you that kind of a person" to poison bandits, who you'll kill later in cold blood with a sniper rifle. Then there's a deal with killing/releasing the guy who attacked you. It might be interesting if you later regretted releasing him, but you don't. It's all just a good guy cliche, cheesy and serves little purpose and just doesn't connect. Otherwise, the challenges are alright. Obviously if you're looking for scientific accuracy or everything making total sense, it's going to disappoint, but it's not unbearably naive either. Overall, it's a very solid game that could be better in some obvious ways, but still delivers. The defects were not taking away from the experience in my view, and the story is worth it. I have a feeling the next game from that author, if matured properly, can be absolutely great.
