Game Profile

Author Fuyu Yuki and James Hall Idiom English Authoring System Adrift Release Year 2005 IFR Overall Rating

The story is a bit on rails at the beginning, but opens up into a fully interactive sequence after awhile, with a time limit.

Flying the jetbike during the first part is one of the most fun parts of the game, though, since the second part ends up dragging a bit.

The time limit seems a bit arbitrary and the timing itself is somewhat inconsistent: for instance, it is possible to walk around the entire complex in two minutes.

The ending was rather odd, and the choices seem not to matter as long as the player doesn't choose an obviously stupid action.

The descriptions start out very thorough at the beginning, and the automatic descriptions of container contents are very nice. However, it seems like there are more and more errors and misspellings toward the end of the game.

Interesting story, but the interaction could be balanced better, and the writing needs some cleaning up.
