Ages have passed since legendary Man walked the planet. Now, in the desolate wastelands beyond the city of Metropol, a solitary robot named Horatio jealously guards his freedom and independence. All that is taken away from him when a marauding foe steals his power source, forcing him to leave the safety of his home and set out on a perilous journey into the wastes - and into his own mysterious past. Primordia is a point-and-click adventure game that combines the challenge and depth of the classics with a streamlined interface and a player-friendly design: puzzles emphasize logical thinking and exploration, rather than trial and error or endless backtracking. The game features over fifty hand-drawn rooms to explore, dozens of distinctive characters and complex machines to interact with, and gorgeous painted cutscenes to soak in. And, as some might note, it features a sarcastic floating sidekick named Crispin.
I bought this game out of blue, just from curiosity and nostalgy for the old games. So I expected absolutely nothing from it... And had found a beautiful jewel, proudly shining through the pixels of sepia-colored design.
I don't want to talk about the plot - you should walk through the whole story by yourself, to feel & understand the world and its inhabitants, to see the whole story from your point of view and to decide, what will happen at the end. I will just say that if you're looking for a game with not-so-simple story, with ability to choose how to solve difficult situation, with an almost alive (figuratively, of course) characters - this game is what you are looking for.
P.S. If you're scared off by the drawing style - believe me, it's bringing absolutely unique feelings about this game. It's totally charming and I couldn't imagine this game any other way.
Great atmosphere and cool story..
Excellent jeu dans le style "old school" avec un humour très décalé.
Thanks for the great story with a really intriguing end.
no pixel hunting.
beats any old lucas arts or sierra games.
