Posted by Valentijn on 2010-01-31 at 21:08 (IP logged): Amazing background art and some good puzzles, but I didn't think that the story was really all that good. After a great, intruiging built-up the ending felt pretentious - it doesn't really work and just seemed to be a forced way to get a big shocking revelation in. I really enjoyed working my way through the first half of the game, but finished it feeling more frustrated than anything else. Posted by Simon on 2010-01-13 at 07:12 (IP logged): Am a HUGE adventure game fan, this was one of the first games I've downloaded to play through AGS - and can HIGHLY recommend this game to any Sci-Fi fan. Interface, graphics, sound, game-play was comparable to any commercial game (better than some!).. puzzles were well thought out, although not as hard as I'd like - but still a definite MUST if you're trying to find a top medium length game Posted by Sektor 13 on 2009-08-16 at 14:07 (IP logged): Not all good ends are meant to be happy. Self-sacrifice is an good act and it is good for all the man kind - so it is good. It is not all in good or bad, just choices in life. Some are "right" and some are "left"... Posted by azerty on 2009-08-01 at 14:52 (IP logged): The "Pulse Reader" acts like an unpredictable magic wand. This game has two endings: one is presented as good, the other as bad; but you die in both!... Posted by LukeDI on 2009-05-11 at 20:57 (IP logged): This is quite a good game. The plot is an enjoyable variation on a commonly used theme. The game could use a little more background. The only problem I had was the dialog is obviously written by someone who isn't a native English speaker. It isn't a big deal but there are some amusing phrasing that can take you out of the action. Posted by Damned on 2009-04-11 at 16:27 (IP logged): Another masterpiece by Sektor 13. The graphics is as good as in commercial games, the story is great. Puzzles here are wise and logic and not so easy. I am antifan of StarGate SG1 show, but although I have to play it after experience with Sektor's games. Posted by foxyfox555 on 2009-02-09 at 18:22 (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 Dataflashsabot on 2009-01-06 at 16:25 (IP logged): This was really good! great story and atmostphere and the graphics are ok. i did get stuck a few times and the translation is a bit crappy sometimes which kind of detracts from the immersion. overall tho a great game! Posted by Ewian on 2008-12-06 at 22:44 (IP logged): fantastic sound and graphic. the only thing that disturbs me, ist that the riddles are too technical. pipes and circuits and such stuff, you know. i like it more on a psychological level. but one of the best games i played, suberb atmosphere! greetings from germany Posted by Gary on 2008-08-02 at 05:24 (IP logged): Oh cool! I just noticed there is a german version. SWEET! can i give it an 11/10? :D Posted by Gary on 2008-08-02 at 05:15 (IP logged): This game has had me hooked for 2 days :) I really dig the music and the scary plots. The graphics are up to par with the sierra games i've always loved. The puzzles are by far the most challenging i've ever encountered. This game is not for the feint of heart, but that's okay this really is my kind of game. GREAT WORK! 10/10. thank you for this wonderful masterpiece! Posted by rbaleksandar on 2008-03-30 at 16:20 (IP logged): This game is perfect indeed. Although I am still playing it, I can give it a strait "A" for everything. The puzzles are cool, not too difficult and make sense, the look of the game is outstanding (The Dig), the story is great and makes you "feel" what's happening on the screen. And the music...Aah, the music is awsome! Each track is just on its place, each sound fullfills the whole picture. This is definetly a MUST-play game! Thank you, man, you are a real tallent! PS: It would be more perfect if there were voices! Than there will be nothing more to wish.I read that the game should be in Full Games section. I agree. It is longer than a normal medium length game. Posted by ratracer on 2008-03-11 at 17:47 (IP logged): Faultless game... and better than that, fantastically enjoyable. Thanks to the author... Final note: the game should be in the long games cathegory... - it is not as long as most commercial games, but comes quite close and it's way longer than most medium AGS games Posted by ratracer on 2008-03-11 at 17:44 (IP logged): As The Dig is my favorite game ever, it is not difficult to understand why I consider The Infinity String my favorite AGS game. Well, even The Dig wasn't your cup of tea, The Infinity String is still a fantastic achievement: the graphics are faithfully reminescent of the golden era of graphical adventures, the music and sounds are second to none, the plot is very compelling and the puzzles are well constructed and logic. I'm playing, right now, Tunguska, Other Worlds and The Infinity String but it is this one that I can't put off. Trylu great game! Posted by Paul Wilkinson on 2008-02-18 at 13:43 (IP logged): This game brought me familiar feelings as I dove into a new and refreshing classic adventure experience. An open storyline graced with logical puzzles and impressive graphics left me hungry for more. Bravo... Bravo! Posted by CosmoQueen on 2008-02-13 at 00:03 (IP logged): Well, there's not much I can say about this game that hasn't already been said. It's awesome in each and every way and I recommend it to anyone and everyone!!! Posted by matti on 2008-02-10 at 00:38 (IP logged): Okay, this is the best AGS-Game I've played so far. Stunning graphics and good puzzles (Except one or two I never really got stuck). Especially the backgrounds were very well and the animations were smooth. Well done! Posted by Bicilotti on 2008-01-30 at 10:32 (IP logged): Graphically exquisite. Some of the puzzles and the overall plot were too convoluted, which made my game experience a little bit 'bewildered'. Posted by Dualnames on 2007-10-20 at 00:22 (IP logged): This game rocks you like hell. If only the walking area problem once you land on the jungle I would rate it 10/10. I've rated the game by the way. Posted by Gepard on 2007-09-18 at 23:25 (IP logged): This game is a real jewel. Old school :f ) Great idea set in a very interesting place with the best adventure music I have ever heard (hope its original). I liked it a lot. Wish there would be more games like this one. Posted by accolyte on 2007-08-31 at 22:35 (IP logged): Well, having finished this game I have ambivalent feelings towards it. To start with, the graphics are simply marvellous! So good, in fact, that you could easily belive this game to be some forgotten commercial underdog. The puzzles also deserve praise. (most of them anyway) They were intuitive with a very scientific feel about them, even if some of them seemed tacked on. Were it fails though is sadly in the most important aspect: the story. It simply weren,t explained clear enough and descriptions and dialogues were uniformative and dry. When the game was over I had only a vague grasp of the story, which overall seemed to big for a medium-sized game to handle. Characters were also very flat and lifeless, making it hard to really care and sympathize for any of them. That said, I would still definitely recommend this game for the top-notch graphics and funny puzzles. Had only more effort went into the story and characters this game would have been an instant classic! Posted by Alarconte on 2007-07-16 at 13:55 (IP logged): With no doubt this is one of my favourite AGS games, mixing some of mi best type of plots and graphics; Its a mix of Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis, graphs like The Dig, and Sci-Fi like a good chapter of Star Trek. Muy heavy recomendations, but I think that the game needs some more action like "shoot before die".... the action seems slow, althought is supossed to be a lot of danger Posted by jkohen on 2007-07-14 at 17:41 (IP logged): This game has all the elements of a classic: a solid script, and folding story, great graphics, immersive music and well-thought puzzles. This is a very high quality game. That said, the game has some grammar mistakes (not enough to lose the player, though) and it is really lacking in item and NPC descriptions, like everyone else pointed out. The lack of descriptions might turn the character a bit dull and cause some puzzles to seem harder than they really are. Nothing that cannot be corrected with a little extra work. Note: I played version 1.00. It seems that the grammar was corrected and some descriptions were added in later releases. Posted by paolo on 2007-07-13 at 15:22 (IP logged): The graphics are excellent, with beautiful scenery and smooth animations. I agree with Pelican that there needs to be a bit more direction about what needs to be done at some points in the game, and that the language needs to be proof-read (PM me if you would like me to do this) - having your translation into English done by someone whose first language is not English (I assume) is not ideal. But those criticisms aside, this a good game with gameplay and story that keep the player engaged throughout. WARNING: It is rated "none" for sex and nudity, but there is actually a scene of nudity - I think the rating should be updated to reflect this, although if you can cope with the gore and violence, you aren't going to be fazed by a brief nude scene. Posted by Pelican on 2007-07-13 at 14:14 (IP logged): Puzzles let it down a little, mostly due to lack of direction at times, but other than that, this is a fantastic game! A few minor grammatical errors did disrupt the immersion a little, but I was really sucked into it, and I was scared witless every time the 'monster' showed up. :D Posted by Sam on 2007-07-08 at 17:18 (IP logged): Awesome game; one of the best I have played here. Superb graphics, interesting story, well designed puzzles; occasional grammatical and spelling errors but nothing too serious. Thanks for a great game! Posted by metha donny on 2007-07-06 at 19:52 (IP logged): That game was thoroughly frustrating. I didn't ever know how to work out a puzzle on the first try and there were so few comments if you used something in a place where it dind't belong. The graphics are outstanding, absolutely, and the scripting is also formidable - but there should have been put more effort into the puzzle design or better the puzzle balance. Not that they were stupid or illogical, the puzzles were just plain hard and there was rarely a hint. And the main character was really flat, I for my part couldn't emphatize with him at any point of the game. Yeah, and the grammar is a bit Slavonic at times, I must add - somebody should proofread this. Posted by mr.me on 2007-07-06 at 00:17 (IP logged): All around great game, I loved everything about it! Posted by Groogokk on 2007-07-04 at 20:33 (IP logged): Now that I've completed this, I'd like to say that this is a high-quality game. It would be even better if the English was proofread (once more). Posted by Groogokk on 2007-07-03 at 22:46 (IP logged): I seriously wouldn't give this game a "mild" violence rating. This should be changed to "considerable" ord something.
