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:

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!

Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window

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

Metaphobia is an investigative mystery game in the style of
classic 1990’s point-and-click adventures.

STORY
Shortly after being elected mayor, Carl Elmstat is murdered by a thief who is quickly caught, convicted, and sent to prison – case closed. Carl’s son Richard however, is unsettled by the details and decides to investigate further on his own. His prime suspect? His father’s political rival– Edward Raban. Throughout the investigation, Richard will find out that the truth behind the murder is hidden deep under the ground – deeper than he ever could have imagined.

Wonderful game, with well-balanced puzzles, interesting story, and the rotoscoping is really really well-done. Played the game with my wife, and we really liked it.

Right up there with Heroine's Quest as "Most polished and spectacular free game made with AGS". Would happily pay money for this! Similar tone to "Samaritan Paradox" but with more of a "Gabriel Knight" vibe. Great stuff.

This game drew me inside like few others. The voice acting is fantastic, the puzzles are logical, the story is strange... Love this one, strongly recommended!

What a great game! I was really thrilled by it. Better than many commercial games nowadays...

This is one of the best and unforgettable AGS games.

I really enjoyed this game. The story was slightly bizarre yet credible, animations artwork and coding were excellent, and the puzzles were all solvable if you had a really good look at everything. The soundtrack and voice acting were brilliant, and I look forward to anything this team produces. Well done, and thank-you!

Excellent production values (best rotoscoping in an AGS game), investigative story, old-school/adventure-gamey puzzles.
Recommended if you like adventure games like they did it in the 90s + a dash of Ben Jordan!

Very intense, good dialogues, good story, puzzles, interactions, everything. Congratulations to the creators.
