What is this?: Gemini Rue

So while browsing the usual gaming sites like I often do during the days, I came across the fellas over at Giantbomb making another interesting Quicklook of the game "Gemini Rue".

I booted the video up, and the first thing I saw, was old-style graphics á la Lucasarts adventure games, and I was instantly instilled with equal amounts of interest and nostalgia. Who can forget all those wonderful adventure games back in the day when Lucasarts were responsible for most of the clever/funny adventure games on the market? Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, the whole shebang.



Anyway, the game is like described, an old-fashioned point-and-click adventure game, or in this case, perhaps detective game is better suited. It tells the tale of Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, in what only appears as a futuristic dystopian society very much reminiscent of Blade Runner in artstyle, drenched in rain and trenchcoats all around.

I looked it up, and no wonder it seems fantastic, it was awarded 2010 winner of the Independent Game Festival Student Showcase, no small feat indeed. It's currently avaliable for purchase from the developer's site, and a demo can also be found on there. If you're interested in point-and-click'ers, I suggest you head over and look it up.
