Plan 9 from Outer Space

Plan 9 from Outer Space description

A game about one of the worst horror movies shot in the 50-ies of the last century with the famous Bela Lugosi in the title role. Please note – not ON film, but ABOUT film.

The plot is based on the fact that the understudy stole the white film already exposed film and hid them in different places, you're employed by a film Studio for a private detective who must return it.

The game can not be called a "text adventure game with graphics", but it has gone from games of this direction close: most of the action, whether it be some physical action or, say, the answers to people's questions, by using a text input, however, is not a manual: it is necessary to build proposals available for choice of verbs. The maximum number of verbs (and hence actions) in each of your sentence is three, and technically it could mean there is some room for imagination. But no – the game is actually very linear, and we are very often told what to do something or that something is impossible. The puzzles are not even that difficult, and some counterintuitive, and most importantly – after finding all the parts of the film you will have to re-edit myself to watch (!) found the film, which is also not very enjoyable.

The graphics are good, but the actual game screen (that is, the place where we are showing something- the room where we are, portrait of a person) occupies a smaller portion of the monitor screen, and a great interface should be simple. Verdict – in any case not bad, even slightly atmospheric, but during gameplay somehow can't shake the feeling that all this could have been done much better. One word for everybody.
