Gemini Rue

Its an adventure game with a cyberpunk theme. The game reminds me a whole lot of Blade Runner, because you play as a cop, the bleak artstyle (with lots of grays and blues) and also because it also offers a very atmospheric soundtrack which is very similar to the one in that movie.

Now this game is another reminder of how much i suck in adventure games. There were very little sections i actually manage to get across without resorting to a guide. Im not sure if this is just my issue, or that the solutions were in fact hard to get to, so i wont really complain about it. I will just say that it makes the game less fun to actually play. Fortunatly its not a long game. It controls like the Monkey Island games. Visually its pixel art is ugly, to the point that it may be difficult to find key elements to the puzzle in the background.

The main reason to play the game is the plot, which is actually very well done. Its great, but i cant say much about it without spoiling it, i will just say that it is very much worth playing the game just to see how the story turns out. Besides the direct story, the game also has some interesting thoughts about social control and what makes an individual. Basically it uses the cyberpunk theme to great use, more than just the background in which the story plays.

Its one of those games where it feels better to think about than to actually play.
