The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them
ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you
think your game has been under-rated!
| 1 Cup | Not serious entertainment |
| 2 Cups | A reasonable game, worth a try |
| 3 Cups | A good game, worth playing |
| 4 Cups | A great game, well worth your time |
| 5 Cups | An outstanding, must-play game! |
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common
for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having
a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just
getting started!
Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game
NOTE: This part can not be downloaded at the moment. Absent will no longer be released in three parts, but as a full length adventure game this summer! This first part has been removed from the internet as the game has significantly improved quality since the release of Part I back in 2010.Absent is a story which follows the character of young-adult and college student, Murray Schull. He and his two best friends, Eve and Steve, attend a college in which students are disappearing daily. It's up to them to find out how this is happening, why this is happening, protect their other friends, and to put a stop to it once and for all.
These series of events began when Crystal, a three month girlfriend of Murray's friend, Steve, disappeared on her way home from college via mysterious means. Over the course of the investigation, however, Murray realises that what stole Steve's girlfriend was not anything of this earth. Murray is haunted by visions, confronted with puzzles, with friends turning against each other, and all for one reason. The Reaper.

AGS Panel Review
"An exciting adventure with a fluid and immersive atmosphere that compliments the visual style. Clues amongst a myriad of text sometimes become repetitive, but overall it's fun and engaging."

Nice game! I found the story rather perplexing at times, mobiles and trainers, maybe I'm just being dense.
Definitely a 3-cup effort, although I'm quite upset to not see any part II being almost a year since part I. I know these games take time to make though!

I found the story to be a bit weak, but the charaters, witty dialogue and puzzles made up for that.
It's incredibly smooth to play. Benjordanesque, I reccomend it!

Nice concept and story, good-looking graphics. I'm hoping for a second part.

Aye, apart from a slightly wavy story, it's a nicely made game, well done!

Good game. Very well realized location of the school and its surroundings. Neat visuals and music. Especially all these extra animations and ghost effects were impressive. The gameplay was solid too.
If I had too nitpick, the hero seems to jump a bit too quickly to conclusions about "the entity", but regardless I'm most curious to see the story develop in the following episodes.

Hey, thanks for the review and bug report. I found the source of the bug and fixed it, a new download is available now, (plus, it's a rar, not an installer).
Good to hear you're looking forward to the next episode. I really think it's gonna be something special!

Nice game. I watched the movie linked to on youtube and said where's part 2? After playing this game I am waiting eagerly for the second part!
*** Spoiler Alert ***
A bug I found: After getting the battery from the guy in the canteen, Lloyd still KO'd, I have Crystal's phone and try to use the battery on it. It then brings up a screen with Crystal's and Grant's phones. I shouldn't have Grant's phone at this point as it is still in Lloyd's pocket. It let me progress past this point with no trouble.
