AGS Panel Rating

A lot of effort has gone into this project, with original graphics and audio throughout, and largely solid technical execution.

But a leaden pace, bland characters, little indication on where the screen exits are located until you pixel-hunt your way over them, and only the barest bones of an engaging plot, reduce playing the third entry in this ongoing sci-fi series to a chore. The graphics are consistent, and the music is pleasant, but the lack of direction and ponderous gameplay are a severe hindrance.

Some puzzles seem arbitrary and, in a number of cases, confusing.
