The year is 2083. A scientific team has been sent to the deserted planet Argilus and never came back. You are a member of a supply ship crew, whose task is to check the bases, and it becomes your mission to uncover the mystery behind the planet and to find the vanished camerades. "Schizm" is a traditional 1-st person perspective adventure in the style of graphical "Zork" games. The game is reminiscent of the Myst series of games (especially Riven) in that the environment is rendered very realistically and in exceptionally high detail. Movement and interaction in the game is very similar to that in the Myst games. The background sounds are realistic and dynamic (for example, footsteps change as a character walks over different surfaces such as metal and stone, and echo when inside tunnels). The background music is very atmospheric and highly evocative. A major distinguishing feature of Schizm is that the player can switch control between the two characters at any time. There are puzzles which require both characters to be performing actions at the same time before they can be solved. It features 180-degree movement and was released on DVD, although it has also a scaled-down 5 CD version. The CD version does not include all the puzzles that appear in the DVD release and was also missing some of the background story, but the DVD is missing the intro FMV. | ||
