Added on: 8 December 2006 Website: http://www.origamihero.com Content advisory: Strong  Suggestive dialog  Strong Ratings: AGS Panel: (what is this?) Player rating: 88% Escaping from a prison is never easy. But doing it with a correctional officer's consent is even harder. Officer Matthew Holmstett is a walking, talking regulation book and has his own set of ideals. Getting him to do what you want won't be an easy task. Don't overdo it, or you may find yourself handcuffed to a radiator very fast. Nobody trusts someone convicted for murder that easily after all... Recommended for mature audiences only.

AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game: Very enjoyable, but would benefit from (1) an original soundtrack (2) the tightening of a few puzzles and (3) improved pacing. Only the multiple endings prevent Reactor 9 from being classed as a Short Game.

Posted by Jakerpot on 2009-06-04 at 23:49 (IP logged): The game is pretty good! Recommended! Posted by foxyfox555 on 2009-02-09 at 18:49 (IP logged): Hello, my name is Joel, from the french AGS forum. I want to translate your game in french. If you agree, send me an email to this address: kaldaya@hotmail.fr and I contact you. Thank you. :) Posted by Lazy Lisa on 2009-01-05 at 05:55 (IP logged): Honestly, without exaggeration, this is one of my favorite games that I've ever played, AGS or no. Even with its relatively short length, I was completely drawn into the story and I really cared about the characters by the end. I was actually sad when it was over. Best of all, I found the puzzles challenging but completely intuitive (yes, even the infamous "level measuring device" part). Others may not have had the same experience, but personally every solution made sense to me logically and I never had to just try randomly using items from the inventory until one bizarre combination worked. The "trust meter" was also a really unique and cool element, adding depth to the story. The graphics were fantastic too. The effect this game had on me was so strong that I registered in the forums just to post this comment! I won't be able to get it out of my head for a long time. Bravo, Bernie. Posted by Otis on 2008-06-07 at 08:12 (IP logged): REALLY liked this one! Really wish it had been a bit longer! Excellent. I especially liked the story! Posted by Dharma_and_Greg#1fan on 2008-05-21 at 06:45 (IP logged): Someone suggested this game so I gave it a try. I was very happy with it! The story was interesting and involved, though it felt a little short if not incomplete. The teamwork system was very original and I'd like to see a full length game take advantage of it. I was also pleased with the different endings, and the good ending was a worthwhile reward. My one complaint was with the difficulty of the measuring device puzzle, but every other puzzle was very well designed. The newspapers were also hidden just about right. Posted by Mortis on 2008-01-26 at 20:30 (IP logged): This game, along with Bernie's other adventure game projects, is exactly what the AGS scene needs: Mature, cohesive and playable. A definite highlight! Posted by Ryanb84 on 2008-01-01 at 02:39 (IP logged): Excellent game, graphics and game play are quite different from any other. Posted by Arthur on 2007-12-10 at 14:01 (IP logged): Great! Reminded me of Beneath a steel sky. It's a shame it's so short. I'd really like to see full length games from Bernie. Posted by Optimus on 2007-09-23 at 00:23 (IP logged): Just amazing! The scenario and atmosphere really dragged me to finish it with 4 endings. One of the best AGS games! Posted by Stormy on 2007-08-18 at 16:04 (IP logged): This is a great game - just difficult enough to keep you interested. I also loved the concept of having to keep the officer sweet while solving the puzzles - kind of a double challenge! Posted by coldwater on 2007-06-17 at 22:30 (IP logged): This is a great game. Everything in it is so cool. Play it now! Posted by Mike Shiba on 2007-03-21 at 21:39 (IP logged): Incredible game. Possibly the best AGS game I've played. Posted by gcmartijn on 2007-03-02 at 12:32 (IP logged): I was searching for some free adventure games for my blog and found this games and posted it. (06-01-2007) now people are still playing this game and have many good votes. as you can see here http://www.2dgames.eu/info.html?getid=121 I think this is the best free game 2006/200? Thanks for making this game :) GCMartijn Posted by ZAPPER on 2007-02-01 at 18:50 (IP logged): One of the best AGS games by far. Good story, excellent endings, well-thought out puzzles, and good music and graphics! Posted by jkohen on 2006-12-31 at 03:46 (IP logged): Very solid game. I'm looking forward to see more high-quality games such as this one! Posted by Ivan "iSTVAN" Dixon on 2006-12-29 at 08:53 (IP logged): Fantastic game. Love Bernie's approuch to a more serious game (not that I don't also love kitties and large headed elf things). Posted by Pelican on 2006-12-28 at 16:16 (IP logged): This is a great game! Intriguing story, well-integrated puzzles, beautiful graphics and great music - its got it all! And its one of the few games I replayed just to get the best ending. :) Posted by Jaws on 2006-12-17 at 02:44 (IP logged): This game is so cool. The story is excellent and delivered in such a way that you get really immersed in the world. Posted by Mikko on 2006-12-16 at 22:33 (IP logged): Great game! This had it all, what I enjoy probably the most at the moment about AGS games: good gameplay, interesting story, intuitive interface, stylish graphics and moderate playing time. Posted by TassieDevil on 2006-12-13 at 21:44 (IP logged): A really good game! It is not very often that I play a game more than once just to see the different outcommings! Posted by sthomannch on 2006-12-10 at 02:50 (IP logged): Exellent game! Superb story and worked out perfectly. Posted by Marion on 2006-12-09 at 22:39 (IP logged): Very great game ! Posted by luke on 2006-12-09 at 20:14 (IP logged): This game is really great. Posted by ManicMatt on 2006-12-09 at 01:28 (IP logged): FANTASTIC! Highly reccomended.
