Gemini Rue took me by the left earlobe kicking and screaming into its traditional early 90s style adventure and told me i couldn't leave until i'd FINISHED it. 9 hours later i emerged.
The game is utterly compelling, at its heart Gemini Rue is a piece of detective Fiction. Its a narative driven scifi noir piece that's punctuated by a series of logical puzzles using the enviroment, conversation, your inventory and an ingame wolrd database. The World is heavly inspired by noir scifi such as blade runner, akira or Renaissance, and each screen is oozing with atmostphere. Gemini Rue is a rare game that gets everything just right, every element complements each other perfectly; the graphics, charaterisation, setting, narative, interface, aethetic, sound, puzzles and pacing, all boils down to a game that knows exactly what tone of voice its projecting. If you ever get a day of uninterupted game time, i'd highly recommend this very well executed piece.
