    This is a special day for me so I decided to play a game that is special for me.
    Oddly enough, in the beginning the narrator states "What we remember never truly dies."
    That is so true and the perfect sentiment for me today.

    I've played over a hundred games since I first played this and for me it remains the Best sci-fi game I have ever played.

    If only more devs paid attention to details. Fleshed out the story, presented an opening that makes it impossible to put down.

    The Game: Can you save the human race?

    What a great Point and Click game; it is fair to the player; you have all the information you need to solve the puzzles. No lunar logic was involved in the making of this game.

    The devs put so much thought into making this a game for players; you do not wander from one puzzle to the next solving puzzles that have no relevance to the game.

    The atmosphere is perfect; it is beautiful and haunting; the loneliness of space is palatable.

    The sounds are just amazing. Footprints sound like footprints; steps sound like someone walking at a real pace. Pneumatic door go “whoosh” perfectly in time with opening and closing.

    Why are you here? How did you get here? What do you do now? What are you?

    This is a story that unfolds as you play; peel it like an onion. Do it slowly and savor it.

    You always know your objective via the tab key. You are provided a snapshot and text description. You never have to stop and think “what was I supposed to do?”. On a large ship with different levels, the color snapshots prevented any wandering aimlessly lost.

    There are 100 manual save slots, you can enter long descriptive save names in it. That was a great feature! There is no auto-save.

    The inventory provides a good description of the item and suggests things the item might be used for.

    Play length without a walk-through was about 14 hours.

Thanks so much Queenslayer! Even the sounds are amazing. Mike, dev, owns a recording company. The sounds are as professional as you will find, and he is a great lover of games so made it player oriented. I really hope you love it as much as I did.
