A much more competent attempt at an adventure game from the same developers of The Mystery of the Druids. Writing has improved considerably since Druids and you get a nice sci-fi conspiracy setting whose themes have aged quite well, plus the progression and puzzles mostly make sense this time around. The soundtrack is kinda disappointing though, its mostly ambient tracks and very few are memorable imo.

My main problem with the game is that it takes a while to get going, the first few days are mostly boring tasks, but the second part of the game makes up for it with some really memorable places/sequences.

When I first played this game I thought it was alright, but I've just been thinking about it on and off for years. Also, it's pretty funny that the big plot twist reveal is basically the Snowden leaks about the government spying on us.
