AGS Panel Review

"Despite some real trial and error gameplay, rein proves to be a very fun but extremely short game that is over just as you are getting involved in the story."

10 people commented on this game (newest first):

Nice little game, i loved the mood of the facility, the events going on fast, the puzzles, the game felt like an adrenaline rush. Really well done.

This game manages to transport a claustrophobic, panic feeling. It's very short, so give it a try!
And Ascovel: best comment ever!

It was over before i knew it, in more than one way...

I think the setting of the game, with the scientific research gone horribly wrong and everyone but the protaganist dead is a good one for a game, but it has been really over-used by now, so I think it would have been fun to see something more original.

Rein-drops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet got ripped is dead
His key doesn't seem to fit
Those rein-drops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

Err... Sorry about that

I agree to the others - It feels like an intro to a great game. Short but nice.

I should have paid more attention when downloading this. I didn't realize just how short it would be, and by the time it was all over, I was pumped to play some more.

This game is far too gripping to be so short. There is a level of intrigue and mystery that will hook you in and make you start asking questions: Who am I? Where am I? What sort of deranged experiments was I conducting? Why is the facility crumbling around me?

Alas, that's exactly where it ends. By the time it gets to the part where things should start to unravel, it stops. It is the adventure game equivalent of a roller coaster that clinks its way up the first hill, only to stop at the summit and have its thrillseekers depart. All that mounting tension for nothing. A real let-down.

I would be more than happy to see more than ten minutes of gameplay from this title. Perhaps this was meant to be a demo for a longer experience. If that's the case, I'm more than ready for the full-length version.

Aside from its brevity, 'rein' is guilty of the greatest of all sins: grammatical inaccuracy. Too many hanging apostrophes and misspellings for me. The AGS forum has loads of proofreaders willing to lend a hand in these matters (myself included), and I wish more developers would take the time to seek them out.

Overall, I would give this game a 3/5 if I could. It's just too bad it stops when the going gets good

Very enjoyable, great animations, graphics etc.

So short it feels like the intro to a game but still well worth playing and I look forward to the next installment/game!

Nice but too short game.
I love the animations and sound effects, all fits well together.

Maybe is this the intro of a longer story ?

Great little game. Nice simple puzzles, great animations, a clean and clear art style and great sound effects make for a neat overall package.
