Moving, glorious and fantastic., January 4, 2015
by Chai Hai (Kansas City KS)

I absolutely loved this, this truly is a masterpiece. Riveting, thrilling, and sentimental at times. Truly great.

You start off as a scientist, determined to publish your findings after your colleague was murdered. I won't give it away, but things go wrong and you're literally fighting for life.

You get to explore underground facilities and caves, and the puzzles were quite nice. I had to use the walkthrough a couple times, and the game could've benefitted from an in-game map, but overall the puzzles were straightforward and on the right difficulty.

The ending touched me, and I was one of those who hadn't linked "The Event" to us, and I left this game somber and sad. But don't let that stop you, the ending is truly moving and it is a magnificent game. Any game that makes you ponder your existence is truly great and deserving of your time. One of the best I've played on here.

BRAVO!!!

Marco worked hard on this, so it's good to see his work pay off. I remember reading reviews and "saving" this game til last because I was not a science fiction fan. But I finally got to it and was glad I did.

Hope you get a chance to play the sequel, too!

Aw man, I love science fiction tales! To each their own. :P

It is a great game and I saw there was a sequel but was having a difficult time finding it. :S

Do you know its exact title? It's probably me just being dumb but I got caught in a link loop. Whoops!

What Marco said.

Also, there is a link to the Andromeda series from the game page, and you can search for Marco as an author. There's always a list of each IFComp where you can see the games, too. It's confusing at first, but there are definitely ways, and IFDB has a number of things to search for. For instance, competitions.
