I realize it's a freebie and all, but I felt it would have been a better overall experience if I had known a few additional background details regarding the mission. Just a text screen or a file in the computer data base would have sufficed.

Adventure games in a hard sci-fi setting are all too rare, and this one was surprisingly good for a freeware game, I particularly liked figuring out how the Spoiler Alertconsoles inside the alien complex worked. Neat cinematic feel to it as well. I agree a little more background would have been nice, Spoiler Alertand the lack of a faceoff at the end with the stone head fighters felt anticlimatic.
But over all I enjoyed it a lot, I hope the developer does something similar in the future.

Yea, I know what you mean. At the point where I could interact with the stone figure that appeared after I dismantled the gravity mechanism generator I tried various tactics in attempt to get noticed by the now transformed stone head fighter. Spoiler AlertI had to pause and wonder why the thing wasn't even able to spot me. It seems that all the personel on the other ship had been killed. I couldn't help wondering, why spare me... :-/
Anyhow, this is a decent free game that should be added to Fnord's list.

| Deleted User | I'd venture to say around 2 hours more or less depending on how often you communicate with the commander (hint system) and in figuring out how to use the symbols correctly on the alien consoles.

There are, but they tend to be the "escape from the locked room" sort that's become popular in recent years. This game, at least in my experience, is a rather rare break from the trend.
There are a few that stand out though. Check out Alantzone and its sequel Amertis if you're looking for more in that line, I haven't played them, but they seem to be standouts in that style, and have gotten good reviews from what I've read.

Status : Offline | There are actually more good sci fi on line games than most other types. I have posted about several other good ones and it does amaze how much talent there is out there. This one looks like a locked room start,which is not my favorite so i will give it a pass. Life is frustrating enough right now. But enjoy.
