First-person puzzle games seem to be quite common now and this one didn't amaze me with its gameplay. Overall, the puzzles were alright. However, the story was ridiculous enough for me to want to write about it. Note that much of the following is not really a spoiler as it is evident in the first hour or so.

The main problem lies in the human characters. I expect a space crew to be bright enough to not expose themselves so easily to an alien life form (an issue I had with the film Prometheus as well), but writers just never seem to learn from past mistakes of other shoddy science fiction stories.

Not only that, but the humans are a terrible combination of naive and selfish. They are naive because they don't seem to be aware of the implications that come from introducing an alien life form to Earth that essentially grants immortality to all living things it infects. And they are selfish because when confronted with the choice of staying away from Earth (and thereby preventing the destruction of its ecosystems), or escaping quarantine, they fall prey to the 'but I just want to go home' mentality.

It should be a no-brainer to humanity's finest, but apparently this is something that warrants a tiresome back-and-forth between the human character (Ava) and the AI (TOM). The needs of the many (billions) really do outweigh the needs of the few (4 or 5 people?).

This was actually rather distracting while I was playing through the puzzle segments, as my mind was constantly churning with thoughts such as, 'Why did the writer not stop to consider how stupid the characters are?' There are billions of people on Earth and you've got these imbeciles not batting an eyelash about their endangerment to humanity? Get outta here...

It should come as no surprise to you that when I finally had the chance togun down the last remaining human characters stationed on Jupiter's moon to prevent them from destroying all of Earth's ecosystems, I had no qualms about pulling the trigger.

And that's about all there is to it. As it was not weaved into the story seamlessly, the rest I consider to be mere regurgitation of philosophy topics that are typically covered in the first year of university. Unfortunately, The Turing Test does not receive bonus marks for this.
