About

"Paranoids are not paranoids because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations."

--Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

THE STORY

Six months ago, Cole Fisher was fired from his job as a computer engineer at Cosmic X, a corporation devoted to the betterment of the human race, the pursuit of world peace and eventual space conquest. The reason? He found out what they’re really up to. It’s quite obvious, you know. They’re trying to take over the world.
Since then, Cole has been holed up in his apartment hacking his way through endless labyrinthine connections, gathering as much data as he could to expose the biggest conspiracy in human history.
And now, Cole has had a surreal vision, a religious experience, a
close encounter, call it what you like. A Mysterious Messenger has told him it’s time to act and bring down Cosmic X once and for all. Or at least that’s his take on it.
"Personal Rocket" is a tale of paranoia and loneliness, the evils of capitalism and too much web surfing, the material world and the Occult universe. Your typical postmodern blues.

The graphics are good and the story's engaging.
The gameplay not so much for me. The music got tireseome too. Please consider a way to turn it off.

Thank you for the kind words, Wiggy! We're glad you liked it!

This is a brilliant demo which has left me hungrier for more. The storyline matches the paranoia theme well, the graphics are nostalgically reminiscent of older style VGA games, the puzzles are challenging (bringing back memories of building a computer and the questionable joys of Linux consoles). A very well-produced game and great soundtrack too. Bring on Chapter 2!
