While it's a flawed game it's an incredible genre-blending experiment that pushed the boundaries of what games were at the time. The controls are a bit awkward but they are absolutely worth putting up with to explore this hidden gem of gaming history.

Flawed, perhaps to the point of being unbearable, but remarkable in its storytelling. I really enjoyed discovering the backstory. There was a lot of written material, both in the game and in the game box, which could be pieced together to understand the history of this lonely research outpost and its demise. The game was let down by an atrocious melee combat system. It really should have been a point and click adventure.
