Gamers are fetched back on the same planet of the first game by a mysterious help call. Some time ago a meteorite hit the planet. But the traces are hardly discoverable anymore and the planet is also abandoned by the scientists once living there in the meantime. The players must succeed in entering the inside of the laboratories. In the laboratories you'll find clues: a video tape of the scientists and a spaceship of a far planet. A chamber of the spaceship is empty and there is a survivor: A child named Soi, who badly needs help. Though a shuttle exists to return Soi to his planet, the spacecraft is missing energy and the gas mixture for Soi and the inside of the capsule must be manufactured, so that the child can breathe. Will we succeed to re-activate the space shuttle and send Soi to his homeland? We slip into the role of a nameless female protagonist, who can move from island to island with a dirigible airship, as soon as we procured the necessary flight modules. In addition we must solve the riddles on the 4 islands. The relevant information for puzzle solutions can be found in the learning part (in the shape of a laptop). It is divided into 7 chapters, where only atom physics and theory of relativity are new compared to the predecessor game. It's designed interesting and also partly interactive, and surely motivates to look at passages without game necessity. However necessary for the game was information about the laser light, and it didn't quite make sense to me, why it couln't be found in optics but atom physics. This already shows that puzzle-relevant information is sometimes very well hidden, what forces fast players to at least browse the learning part in all sections. That learning part can be independently played - in contrast to the context-sensitive one of Historion - and pleases in its clarity, example choice, graphic and acoustic representation. |
