In theory. Seconds into its maiden voyage it crashes into hyperspace, vanishes... and collides with your house.
Bewildered, you find your way aboard, and just as you are gazing at its awe-inspiring interior, the ship takes off again and heads deep into space. You are stranded. But you are not alone...
The ship is inhabited by a crew of malfunctioning robots and a semi-deranged parrot. You discover that you can communicate with them, a feat that is made possible by SpookiTalk, the games proprietary interactive language engine. You can chat with any of the robot characters-Fentible the distinguished Doorbot, Nobby the hypochondriac Liftbot, or Fortilian Bantoburn O'Perfluous the outrageously convivial Barbot. Talk to them, interrogate them. Give them orders. They will listen to you, answer you and, if they happen to feel like it, obey you. Sometimes.
To begin with you are a third-class passenger, and you quickly find yourself in the grip of one of the most powerful forces known to man-the desire for a free upgrade. As you move up to second and, at last, to first class, more and more of the ship becomes accessible to you, and more and more of its mysteries are revealed. What has happened here? What terrible events occurred the night before the launch? Who is the mysterious Titania whose brooding statues dominate the ship? Can you solve a series of increasingly bizarre and surreal puzzles., unlock the central mystery and return to Earth before the parrot drives you finally and irrevocably mad?

Even Douglas Adams failed sometimes.
No doubt that this game is a certified classics! It is a true old-school, adventure point n'click and I mean that in a good and a bad way. I'll elaborate:
The good way: Unique, large and beautifully crafted ship to explore, fun interactable characters that all carry the classic Douglas Adams humor, immersive and enjoyable music, an interesting story that makes you want to see it through to the end.
The bad way: I doubt you'd be able to finish the game without the manual. I mean you can, it would just take you a loooong time and nerves of steel. Nothing is explained to you and the hints are, well...I couldn't find them. a Good portion of puzzles are nonsensical and most of the solutions can either be found via guide or by sheer luck and accident. The UI is confusing at the start. I wandered around trying to finish a puzzle only to realize it's because I wasn't using the correct interface. What, I have to go to another interface just to call an elevator?! A click wasn't obvious enough?!
And, admittedly, the parrot that screamed over the talking characters and in my ear made me want to shove in into a Succ-U-Bot and leave it there to choke.
Despite these outdated mechanics and flaws, I enjoyed this game and would recommend it to those who enjoy these types of old school adventure games.
love it oldie but goodie
Very funny Myst type game.
Certifiable classic, hands-down. Only... yet another title Steam hasn't made available for Linux? 'Got the game installed and it didn't have that dreaded "Available (only) for Windows" message, but it refuses to launch. I will not touch Orwell 10 or 11 with the proverbial 40-foot pole so... waiting.
But yeah, 'played this roughly 3/4 of the way through a decade or so ago - until another Windows system crashed and I lost the game saves - and though it's understandably dated it's all of: hilarious, mysterious, Art-Deco cool, suspenseful, meditative and thought-provoking. 'Would be real nice to be able to play it again. But if you've already cursed yourself with an Orwellsoft system, go for it. This one is not to be missed.
This is one weird game. At first you may be turned off by graphics that are—let’s be honest—very ugly. The 3D design is awkward, confusing, and off-putting. It’s kind of a futuristic art deco meets pop art that was put through a very chonky compression algorithm. It didn’t turn out very well. But it was ambitious for the time, and you can see what they were going for, so just take a while to appreciate what you see and take it for what it is.
Second, the controls. They’re... cryptic, and take some getting used to. This is an artifact of the time, when games would come with a big manual and expected you to use it. So read the manual. Oh, you did? And it was useless? Yeah, the manual for this game is pretty useless. It’s mostly nonsense, but it does have a few hints plus a map telling you where the elevators are. I spent half an hour trying to find the elevators on my own, so that would’ve helped.
Third, the story. It’s all but nonexistent. If you want, you can read some in-game emails or the manual, but the characters known very little and if you really want the backstory you need to read the book by Terry Jones. It’s finally back in print, so check it out. But to be honest, none of it is going to help with the puzzles, which are frankly nonsensical. I don’t know how anyone would ever figure half of them out without going insane.
Let’s face it. This game is a confusing mess. I feel like they tried to do too much, and realized it halfway through, and ended up releasing something that wasn’t quite finished. Nevertheless, you can see some hints of what it could have been, and it’s worth visiting this strange, lonely world created by this game just to glimpse that dream.
Great game! Can be difficult at times but I highly recommend!
