Gemini Rue

This game has everything an adventure gamer could want. Dystopian game theme. Great puzzles. Awesome voiceovers that lend to the concept of the game. Everything fits in, the music, screen movements, and backgrounds and the way it play. If this game came out in the 90’s, it would have cost $60. This is a steal for al the game play and great storyline. Played and auto saved perfectly on my iPhone 6s. Kudos to the developer.

This company releases some of the best ios retro-style adventure games in terms of quality and production.Having played several of their other titles including Blackwell legacy and Shardlight,This was the best one so far. It really stuck with the town and the protagonist/sSeem to be a lot more passionate than in the other titles I described. I still need to play their other games, but from everything these guys put out that I have played so far this is the most solid title. <br/><br/>It’s definitely for fans of blade runner but its not derivative in its story.I might try some other games from this company due to how much I enjoyed this title, hopefully they continue to preserve adventure games with interesting protagonists rather than the jaded lifeless characters you play in Blackwell and Shardlight.

I love the world building here and just about all the scenes on barracus were fun, but the scenes in sector 7 (I think that’s what it was called) got old after a while. I get you are trying to make the user feel trapped like the character by making us walk through multiple doors, but sometimes it just felt downright tedious. I also think the game could have used a bit more humor and the ending was ok-ish —just felt kind of flat. I would play a sequel though. There were definitely some amazing things about the title. Blade runner ish and even some cowboy beebop flavor too, it just feels like it’s missing something.

Good:<br/>• Great in game pixel art<br/>• Interesting story<br/>• Only had to look up one puzzle solution (the typical zany logic expected in the genre)<br/><br/>Mediocre:<br/>• Highly linear puzzle solving<br/>• Portrait art<br/>• Voice acting<br/><br/>Bad:<br/>• Dialogue trees almost always have the same outcome<br/>• Gun fights. A horrid inclusion to the game.<br/>• Weak UI and controls<br/>• In game character eyes. Everyone looks like they wear the same exact eye visor. Very annoying to see cyclops characters with monochrome eyes that don’t match portrait art.

Not what I expected. Bought it based off reviews comparing it to Facility47 but this game is nothing like it.

I really loved this game. Technobabylon is even better than this if this point and click game style is to your liking, in my opinion of course!! But Gemini Rue is well worth your time and money!

This game was extremely linear and repetitive. Got bored with it about halfway through and just wanted it to be over. Just a really amateurishly put together game overall.

A bleak environment, curmudgeon detective, gun fights, clues 2 B discovered and deciphered; with a film-noir feel. If one’s a fan of point-and-click interactives, add this to your collection.
