Default Cayne

It's one of the free games on GoG, and is a point&click adventure-game.


It has a clunky learning curve, ti. nothing is explained what the controls are.
Also, the first room's puzzles are TIMED EVENTS, and that never comes into play later, is unusual in the genre, thus makes you probably quit before leaving the first room.


The puzzles are at best moon-logic, or maybe require specilasized knowledge, like the photo-development puzzle in Shadow of the Comet, which can only be solved if you know how to develop analog photos in a lab.
There are also a lot of red herrings, or unused props.



Then the story. the story on paper is fine, though a bursting animation would have been more adequate. The details which realy fails this one. Story-pieces just left behind and in nonsense.
Never turns out how you got in the facility, what was the conract that put you there, what's your complaint, why was the crew all fucking each other, how they developed that religion-business, who is Cayne, wassis deal, where did "Samantha" come from, why is everyone a perv...
