Great game.

[viktor]

I just had a thought.
In the player characters (can't remember the name) office he has some diplomas and stuff. He could hawe stolen them from the real doctor. I think what's wierd is that when you look at them he talks like he actualy did work for them and that they are his. I mean what's the point in saying that. They aren't his and there is noone else in the room not to tell them that they aren't his, You know what I mean. I think that Yatzee either made a goof here or he had a diferent ending planed first and thought of this one when he already did the office room.

How I "lure" him out of the ship?
I am wearing the EVA suit, left door closed, right door (to outer space) open.
I have withdrawn the radio masts. I am waiting... Nothing!

[Yvonne]

Forget it. Moved in and out, and finally he showed up.
Well, I've restrained from comments before finishing, but now I must say this is the AGS game I've disliked most.
I am really wondering what is all the excitement about?!
Very nasty scenes actually... It was disgusting.

[Isegrim]

In the ending sequence: Did I just see a hand coming out of that coffin, just before fadeout?

My opinion about the game: Great, but 5days was better, IMO. The characters acted more believable there and the whole situation dramaturgy were thought out better. Anyway, the atmosphere was extremely creepy in both games, and the life-threatening scenes really made me jump sometimes...

[prowler]

the airlock puzzle thingy can be explained like this:

Spoiler

he pulls the lever with his feet

[close]

also, imo there is more to the ending than what is said in the game.
a possible interpretation is that,

Spoiler

similar to what defoe did, maybe someone (descendant of trilby? maybe ) managed to find a way to use somerset's body in order to protect human kind from defoe, at the cost of a few lives. that could also explain his young age (i bet the welder would have been immortal too)...

[close]

i know this is far-fetched, but i usually come up with stories like this to justify stuff that doesn't make sense at first

...and the question that is raised in the beginning of the game, as to how the artifact had reached a place so distant from our solar system, remains unanswered, unfortunately

[Mephistophilis]

I thought the Idea was that insted of being left to Drift They Had Purposefully propelled it as far away as they could possibly get it.

I love this game, the first game of Yahtzee's that I've really gotten into and wanted to finish.  I'm nearly done, I think.
I have had a few bugs, nothing fatal though.

I just realised some serious design flaws.

In the fixing lift room, the lift is obviously round. In the obs. deck it looks like it's only a 1/4 of a circle?
In the conf. room you can see a window when you should clearly be seeing the escape pod room?

[Sutebi]

Scotch, although I must admit those are cool pictures, how did you accomplish those? That would be helpful for Yahtzee to fix them.

[Phemar]

I am in serious need of help:

Spoiler

Okay, what the hell am I supposed to do after pushing chahal over the ledge and talking to adam?
What the hell is a bridge?
Where the hell is William?
Anyone?

[Barbarian]

Just played through it.
Wow, a great game overall. It was a fairly good story for the most part (but the ending was a bit... strange). The graphics served the game well. The choosen music which played at the right times seemed appropriate.

There were a couple of nasty bugs, and also a couple parts of the game was hard to trigger an event to happen... Perhaps some beta-testing would have improved some of that.

   Anyways, I enjoyed the game and it kept me involved.

Zor:

Spoiler

You know that three of the crew members are dead, so you have to find the other two. They're hiding. Both are in places only they have access to.

And the bridge is where the ships controls are. It's the second to the top floor where the console. The room that the Captain's room branches off of.

I`ve the same problem......can someone give a hint?

[EKM]

I'm currently at the part where the Captain is following me around....so uh, I'll figure out a way to get rid of him but wow, the way he kills off Angela was pretty unexpected lol...and I think the screams are hilarious.

Anyway, I like 5 days a stranger better for some reason because Trilby was just...cool...

I like the whole space concept....kind of reminds me of Jason X.

[BerserkerTails]

I loved the game. A great sequel that doesn't let down fans of the original. There are a few inconsistancies I noticed though...

Spoiler

Like in the readme, it says that the ship is only a few days into it's assignment when the locker is found. But "Dr. Somerset" syas that the darts in the games room were lost months ago.

Also, at the end, when John Defoe finally rises and starts wandering the ship, what head is he using? The whole purpose of the doctor capturing "Somerset" was for his head, so John Dafoe's new body would be complete.  But you escape with your head. So where does John's head come from?

[close]

[Mephistophilis]

maybe it was the comm Engineer (can't remember her name ) She had black Hair, and She wore Glasses wich is probably Why Defoe steals the Doctor's eyes.

[Kweepa]

Just finished it with a couple of hints from here...
I enjoyed it and thought it was beautifully presented.

Not perfect though - very linear, very buggy.
Plus, some forced puzzles.

Spoiler

Pushing Barry into the reactor shaft. Why should that "kill" him?
Why not cut his arms off with the machete after stunning him?
Ditto for John.

Somebody said you could push the escape pod lever with your foot.
But it's much too far away for that.

Some of the events seemed very triggered.

I think it would have been better without the days.
It wasn't very convincing that everyone would split up all the time when there was a killer on the loose.

And the "twist" ending was pointless.
For one, it didn't sound believable.
For two, it leaves a bad memory of the game - like it wasn't me playing.

Some great horror stuff though.

I liked that it was Elandra at the helm!

Because that would require a whole shitload of animation.

My favorite part was after meeting at the bridge, they decided to use the escape pod. But first, a good night's rest. I was like, WHAT???
