It takes quite a set to release a lo-res game like this these days.

This just warms my heart. Anybody play it yet?

Read reviews.

It is an indie game, hence the low budget low res.

That and I think it is trying to be nostalgic.

Heard good things.
Story is apparently very good.

Looks OK to me. I just might download it.

Indie games are great =)

They have a kind of charm missing from big corporate releases.

This games looks like a lot of heart went into it.

And talk about nostalgia.

It's not about graphics. Gameplay and story are so much more important. Developers should focus more on that instead of trying to have the best pixels.

oooh that looks really cool. Yeah i must agree, indie games are sometimes really interesting.
have you guys seen the fan made Broken Sword game? it has that real "low ress" style but its really good.

This looks very interesting. As soon as I have some free time, I'm going to delve into it.

So I finally played this game.

It was pretty good, but unfortunately, I predicted the twist....

They dropped way to many obvious hints before the big reveal.

The game is decent and nostalgic, but I wouldn't say it was the greatest game I played.

By indie standards, though, it was great.

It's a nice enough game, but I had a lot of trouble with the shooting sequences. Others had no trouble at all, so it may just be that I am particularly clumsy with this kind of actiony stuff, but I feel I should warn you guys it's not pure point-and-click. I'm not sure the demo contains one of these scenes but it might be a good idea to download and try that first.

I quite enjoyed the first Blackwell game. Considering it's mostly made by one dude, I think the games are pretty well above average.

I know I couldn't do this well by myself.

I watched a playthrough of this game with commentary on Twitch TV. Very atmospheric and interesting.

Another retro-look game that seems to be popular recently is Lone Survivor "a psychological survival adventure game". You can get it, among other great games, in the current Humble Indie Bundle.

Resonance is one game I definitely want to play.

Critics are saying it is one of the best indie games out there.

Just got this off STEAM then and have been playing through it. I'm hopelessly addicted. It's the perfect blend of the games Blade Runner and Beneath A Steel Sky. Can't wait to keep going through it, easily the best game i've played in a while, especially in the adventure genre.

It really enjoyed it
I was just disappointed I figured out the twist before the end.

My only complaint was that they gave a little too much away prior to the reveal.


I just read a Review for Resonance at Adventure Gamers. I think you might just have to try this when you are done Gemini.
