April Ryan moves between two parallel worlds in this classic graphical adventure, one shaped by science and one by magic. You guide her through the story by exploring locations, solving puzzles, talking with the people she meets and dealing with the monsters that turn up along the way. The game is built on a large scale, with more than 150 locations across the two worlds and over 70 speaking characters.
Its developers cite more than 40 hours of play and over twenty minutes of pre-rendered cutscene video, backed by a cinematic score. Single-player and dialogue-heavy, it suits patient adventure fans who like long stories, classic puzzle structure and a strong sense of place.
