This is a black comedy point & click adventure starring Dirk Longerwood as the would-be hero. When even the Special Forces can't take out a spider-alien-thing, Dirk must step in and save the world himself. It's a monster movie largely played for laughs. The graphics feature a low-resolution pixel look showing the factory and surrounding area. Matching the industrial nature of the setting, the colour scheme is generally quite drab. The monster itself towers over the humans, though it moves in leaps that propel it off the screen without the need for much animation. Its roar is the most striking sound effect in the game, rendered as the screech of an overloaded 8-bit sound system. This is in keeping with the retro look, as is the music, which is a tune reminiscent of early video games, increasing in speed to a dramatic action theme when the Aractaur appears. |
