A truly amazing and well made retro adventure!

This game is AMAZING. I love and have been a fan of "point & click" adventure games from way back. But having never played one on the iPad before, I was a little weary. As another reviewer said, I wish I had taken a chance on this game a long time ago. Not only did it live up to expectations, it blew them out of the water. The art, story and gameplay are absolutely top notch.

If you grew up on Sierra games, Gemini Rue is a dream come true. It definitely has a similar vibe and feel but is also a creation all its own. Cant tell you how much I love, that not only are people still creating these types of games, but that they are still doing it with pixel art! The artwork is beautiful, detailed and does such a fantastic job of setting the scene. And for those of us who grew up on old school adventure games, the visuals here are truly a step back in time.

The true star of this game though, is the story. I dont know how long its been since Ive played a game where the story line blew me away. Just when you think youve seen all there is to see in sci-fi, this game comes along with something new and fresh and thought provoking. There arent too many games that kept me thinking about the story well after they were completed. But this was one of them.

All-in-all, just an amazingly well made game. And such a fun experience playing it. It took me a little bit to get into it, but once I did, I was hooked. You get sucked into this bleak, dystopian, world quickly. And by the end, you wont want to leave. And now I want more. Im clamoring for more old school adventure. But I just cant pull the trigger on any of the similar titles in the App Store. I feel like Ive already experienced the best and that the others would be a let-down in comparison, haha. I can only hope Wadjet Eye makes more titles like this. Id kill for a sequel or something new in the same vein.

It was truly a pleasure playing this game. Thank you Wadjet Eye!
