United StatesPocket Gamer: Game of the Week "You'll rue the day you missed this one." Kotaku "There's something comforting about the cold and dreary future of Wadjet Eye Games' Gemini Rue, the pixelated PC masterpiece now available on iOS." Joystiq "Being able to play such a well-crafted interactive story on the go was an attractive option for me from the beginning, and Gemini Rue proves to be a great example of how the adventure genre can be adapted to a mobile platform. " MacLife "If you like unspooling a good sci-fi detective story, Gemini Rue is well worth the investment. 4/5" Edge Online "Gemini Rue is an accomplished homage that rivals the very titles that influenced it. 8/10" Washington Times "It’s an old school masterpiece, requiring hours of game play that stimulates the brain rather than trigger finger." App Spy "This is an excellent port of an excellent adventure. 4/5" _____________________________________________ DESCRIPTION A sci-fi noir adventure in the tradition of "Blade Runner" and "Beneath a Steel Sky." Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, arrives on the rain-drenched planet of Barracus. When things go horribly wrong, he can only seek help from the very criminals he used to work for. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a man called Delta-Six wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Without knowing where to turn or who to trust, he vows to escape before he loses his identity completely. As fate brings these two closer together, we discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy. _____________________________________________ AWARDS Nominated for the 2010 IGF Student Showcase (as Boryokudan Rue) (Windows version) AGS Awards 2011: Won Best Gameplay, Best Original Story, Best Player Character, Best Background Art, Best Character Art and Best Sound Effects (Windows version) Aggies 2011: Won Best Story, Best Setting (Reader's Choice), Best Independent Adventure (Windows version)

United StatesMediocre adventure puzzle
Good: • Great in game pixel art • Interesting story • Only had to look up one puzzle solution (the typical zany logic expected in the genre) Mediocre: • Highly linear puzzle solving • Portrait art • Voice acting Bad: • Dialogue trees almost always have the same outcome • Gun fights. A horrid inclusion to the game. • Weak UI and controls • 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.
United StatesGreat job!
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. 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.
United StatesCumbersome game mechanics give too little reward for too much effort
I have gotten to the second scene of the Azriel Arc and completed the first scene of the Delta-6 Arc. And I am bored. I have not found a reason to care about either of the POV characters. It’s obvious that someone cared a whole lot more about ensuring that armed combat was as true to life as possible than they did about user experience. The result is that everything gunfight is a slogfest that demands attention and adds difficulty without giving a payoff in terms of plot advancement. I do not want to spend 5-10 minutes reloading a gun, and waiting for the right moment to fire just so that I can get to the next locked-room puzzle. Normally I would wait until I have played through at least once before reviewing, but I just can’t see myself picking it back up again.
United StatesA Big Bang for your buck
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.
United StatesMeh, it’s a decent adventure title
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.
