![]() I was also really missing the obvious ability to fetch edges of platforms I was trying to jump onto. Sometimes I picked up a rock in advance to be ready for the next enemy. When an enemy appeared, I had to run back or around to look for a stone to pick and throw. ![]() The game had the same problem as Gemini: Heroes Reborn by not offering any default weapon. My character had the power to use both terraforming and telekinesis, but they felt somewhat unsatisfying. It felt both insipid and unpolished, like a budget game. Unfortunately, the game wasn’t quite up to my demands when it came to the quality. This third person action adventure with quests and RPG elements reminded me a little of the second Two Worlds game, which I enjoyed completing ten years ago.

Back those twenty years ago I would probably have played it anyway if I’d bought it, but now I just can’t be bothered anymore. This is probably all on me, but I’m just not keen on the idea of missing out on stuff if I’m not at the right place at the right time. Knowing how the real time system would probably make him leave if I made him wait, I dropped everything I was doing and made haste. At one point a conductor asked me to go to the restaurant car and meet up with someone. The inventory was detailed, I could zoom in on objects in it (probably quite impressive in 1997) and the voice acting was excellent. But that is probably my only complaint when it comes to the user interface and game mechanics. Sometimes it was a lot of work making sure I’d seen everything in a compartment. ![]() This is the guy I had to meet in the restaurant car.Īlthough the game controlled well in the cramped train with the use of direction arrows and contextual action icons, I wish it had spheroid node movement like other games of this time period. Even with a rewind option, I always fear I’m missing out on something – it’s like I have some kind of anxiety about it. It kept me from buying it then, and even today I’m still not comfortable with it. I was always uncomfortable about the real time aspect of it. I should have been played it back in the end of the 90’s, or a least when I was visiting so many other classics some twenty years ago. Nevertheless, I’ve decided that too much water has passed under the bridge. Sometimes it’s smooth, sometimes just two or three images. The drawn graphics are clear and stylish, although how the characters are animated varies a lot. It has real time events occurring aboard a train whether the protagonist is present or not – even a rewind option. No doubt this was truly groundbreaking in 1997, when the game first appeared. I tried this classic for more than half an hour. This is another post in my series about the odd games that I have decided not to complete, although I will at least try them out for up to an hour or two.ĭeveloper: Smoking Car Productions | Released: 1997 / 2013 | Genre: Adventure, Point & Click
