As you scan the monitors frantically searching for answers to what this place is and why you are there, the only signs of life you have come across are a series of strange, curiously hard to identify animals, but then you see her; a woman.Help Yourself by Helping Her Professor Lea Nichols is a research scientist in her thirties and could be described as beautiful if the strain of her situation wasn't so etched into her features. As hard as you try you are unable to communicate with her, but it is clear she is being held captive by someone or something and wants help.

But how and why is it that control over both your fates seems has been placed into your hands?Use the Tools You Have If you can discover a way to use the few tools tools you've been given (the surveillance system, an Intranet and other technologies) to Watch, Communicate, Search and eventually Take Control, you may both have a chance at escape.

Extremely annoying interface July 20, 2008 If you want enjoyable game play with interesting visuals do not play this game. If you like to figure out how to program your new television or other software set up, then you might like this game. It's very cumbersome to try and get the main character to go/do want you want. You have to move a alot of windows around to see anything at all. Not fun at all. Very slow paced.
I also wish I could play this game July 4, 2008 The game would not play. After investigating on the company website I found my video card was not sufficient even though it met the requirements stated on the box. Check company website to see if your card will work.
I wish I could play it! May 7, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I read all the great reviews about this game and purchased it, however, the mouse is so sluggish while the game is going that I can't even use it. I looked up this game on several forums and soon found out that I'm definitely not the only one with this problem. The answer I found was that people with this problem are told to wait for a 'patch' to fix the mouse issue. I just wish that I hadn't paid for a game I cannot play.
Better for real puzzle-oriented folk May 3, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I LOVE the concept -- that your PC is really part of the game. But for my taste there's too much moving windows around, and waiting for wots-her-name to move about. And the voice acting is pretty bad. I'm probably too much action-oriented -- more puzzle-loving players might love it. I'd put it somewhere between Tomb Raider 1 and Rhem for action.
Cool sophisticated but with a few minor flaws March 23, 2008 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Cool and so clever in many ways, but with a few flaws. The Good. - Very clever interface, deeply immersive interesting interactive world. Nice realistic feel. Quite good deep puzzles. The science ship makes a cool interesting environment. The Bad. Can be frustrating. Still mostly not that difficult. Puzzles could be deeper still. A few minor bugs - get caught in doors, one or two crashes (in same place). Puzzles can be somewhat rigid in order structure forcing you to wonder back and forth etc - but this is a very minor problem. Overall I like this game a lot - very good.
