Technobabylon

I’ve been wanting to write this review, but I wanted to finish the game first! After playing Whispers of a Machine and Kathy Rain, I was looking for another great point and click adventure; I’m delighted to say that I’ve found it! First of all, the story is amazing. If you like mystery/thriller/sci-fi, this is it. The voice acting is top notch, the gameplay is intuitive, and even the portraits are stellar. The puzzles are fair, although there were some parts where you really have to try everything, but the solutions make sense. I did not use any walkthrough. Unfortunately, some games like Broken Sword and Kathy Rain have these mathematical/insane puzzles, but there’s none here. If you get stuck, I would suggest to Google “Technobabylon spoiler free hints”, which I only had to use for the last puzzle. The rest of the game I tried different things every day. I was very satisfied with the endings and look forward to purchasing the sequel! Highly recommended! Love the characters; they really grow on you throughout the game, never in the negative sense.

I think this is a very well done game. Graphics are decent and so are the character voices. The storyline is very good and it provided me a lot of great playable time on some long flights I had to take. I do wish these games would provide a hint button or something when you get absolutely stuck. I do have to mention there is a glitch to the game and that is toward the end with the wrench. If the wrench is inserted in the elevator control panel and you start to go up and stop the elevator when the wall partially blocks the view of the elevator panel, you cannot take the wrench out and there is nothing you can do about it, other than to reload a previous scene and play all over again. This happened to me twice.

I wish there was a better type of in game hint system besides the one they have. Doesn't help me at all! Can't even get out of my room in the first scene. Agh. I don't want to have to leave the game to look at a walk through. On my way! Of us really need a good hint system to play these type of games. Graphics are good. Not sure how the rest of the game is because I can't get out of the first room. I won't give this game any less than 4 stars, because I can't figure out what to do, just want a better help/hint system though. (I Don't like it when others give lower stars because they personally have issues, and it's not the game. ) Love the input the developers and the rest of gang did. Very interesting to see what or how things were made and what was taken out of the game. Please put a better hint system within the game. Like, if I were to click a ? It would tell me what my next move would be.. I really would like to finish this game. Thanks!

If you remember clicking on everything on the screen to get all the dialogue, then this game is for you. If you remember randomly mashing items in your inventory together to see if they interact with each other, then this game is for you! This game harkens back to old school adventure games. The graphics are retro but expressive, and the voice acting was well done. The story is interesting and moves along at a reasonable pace. It's worth the $5 price tag if you're a fan of the genre.

The story line behind this game was genius. Really surprised by the amount of thought put into the creation of the characters and their world (especially for a game I paid less than five bucks for). Puzzles were also fun as well. I felt like the puzzles were fair and intuitive. You didn't have to make huge leaps in logic to progress. Of the four games made by this company in the app store, this was my favorite, but Shardlight was a very close 2nd. Well done game creators!
