Registered 9 years agoGreat noir soundtrack. Art-style bang. Loads of neat little comebacks when you try various combinations. Puzzles seem straight-forward enough without being eith pathetically easily or plot-ruiningly hard.
I reckon having the Ltd. Ed will be a nice little nerd-o collectors item. -

Adventure Gamers hands-on
Much of Gemini Rue simply oozes nostalgia. From the way the characters walk and the way you interact with the environments, everything looks and feels like an old-school adventure game.

Other puzzles involve moving crates... there are about a dozen shooting sequences that require you to have fairly quick reflexes.

Registered 8 years agoI've only got through the first Azriel section so far, definitely enjoying the style and atmosphere of it although it hasn't put up much of a challenge yet.
AdventureGamers have put up their review which is generally positive but their main criticism is that it's "very, very easy".Even the toast is a ghost, and your daddy is in the toast!

It's not a close friend he's searching for, it's his brother. -

Registered 9 years agoFrom the review:Somewhere around the halfway point of the game I became locked in and could not stop playing until the story reached its climactic section, which is not only surprising (and should not be spoiled in any way) but rewarding and uplifting. This is meaty sci-fi that mixes some of the best elements of Snatcher, Blade Runner, and Beneath a Steel Sky among others, drawing a fantastic balance between the dark appeal of sinister science fiction and sincere human drama. The resolution of the story is less about major thematic concepts or statements of right and wrong, and more about the individual characters and how we become truly invested in their fates. The game made me think and carefully process what I'd seen, and it made me want to play again. And it accomplishes this at a budget price from Wadjet Eye Games that is a perfectly fair value for the experience it provides.
If my enthusiasm for this product could be measured, it would be substantially higher than my actual score. Gemini Rue is an imperfect adventure game, but a triumph of DIY adventure development and a marvelous feat of interactive storytelling. For those with even the slightest inclination toward retro adventures, indie gaming, or science-fiction storytelling, it is a must-play and sets a new standard for independent debuts and reminds us just how rewarding one young developer's labor of love can be. Effective, impactful storytelling may be the hardest part of game design to get right—and seeing how right he gets it tells me that Joshua Nuernburger will be a part of the future of this genre for some time to come. -

Registered 9 years agoYou haven't being paying attention. It's the first thing Kane says to you at the start of the game and the whole reason you're trying to find out where that dude lives.

Oh, it's really good. But I just really didn'tlike the girl. Her "reasons" for what she's doing aren't good enough, imo, and she comes across as a bitch. She's not the only protagonist tough and the other one is awesome.
