The resulting mix does not look very harmonic. Some of the fotos have also been drawn on.
Humans you meet, however, are displayed using digitized fotos of actors, while animals and non-human characters are drawn 2D graphics, as are the still shots dispicting several events (usually when you die). Objects you examine are also held in pre-rendered 3D. Similar to games like Myst, the environment is displayed in a first-person view and consists of still of pre-rendered 3D graphics, and you move or turn stepwise by clicking when the cursor points in a direction.
The graphics are a wild mixture of different styles. You can find and equip weapons, which increase the amount of damage you deal if you strike a hit. If you win, you sometimes have to choice between killing your opponent or sparing his live. If you lose, it's game over in most cases. The fight ends when one party's health is down. If you don't manage to strike a blow, your opponent will hit you. The crosshear will change its position after a very short time. You need to click on a crosshair appearing somewhere on your opponent to score a hit. You also need to sleep, and sleeping in unsafe places or a hostile environment might draw you into a fight or be bad for your health. You have a day/ night cycle and need to find food and drink to stay alive. The game is a mix between an adventure and a survival simulator. One is the human-like Gouarks, the other is the Wounks, who look like Yetis. There are two different people inhabiting the land. It turns out your ship crashed in a cold, snowy landscape with trees which is roamed by wolves. You take on the role of James Buttefield, and you must find a way to helpt Sven and then find a way to get back to Earth. To make matters worse, the ship is totally ruined. While James and Sven manage to reach the moon, but they crashland and Sven gets severely injured. Hence, the Cartel hires two civilian pilots, James Butterfield and Sven Clark, to go on this suicide mission for a huge amount of money. The Industrial Cartel suggests to send a jet fighter type X-49, but since none of these has ever managed to reach the moon, the army rejects to put any of their pilots at risk. The army is in desparate need of a scientific explanation of the phenomenon to fight the mass hysteria, but since finacial reserves are depleated, they cannot send a spaceship on an expedition to the moon. As a result, people are panicking, cities around the world are pillaged, and people commit colletive suicide. Various large sects take advantage of the situation and interpret the even as a sign of a coming apocalypse. All of a sudden, an unknown cosmic phenomenon changes the observable part on the backside of the moon. The write of the game has unfortunately not replied to my email. Is there anything else missing so far in the review?
Here is a first draft of a review on the game.
