PC gamers, get ready for the next great Experience in Action and Adventure with The Experiment.

Over sweeping cliffs and across scenic coastlines, this innovative shared adventure begins in the bowels of an old, dilapidated ship grounded ashore. Mysteriously, you find yourself in the ship's operations room faced with a highly advanced panel of controls, surveillance monitors, and a wide array of sophisticated technology. 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.

'The Experiment' box shot
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. The problem is, apparently you too are being held prisoner by an unseen captor. Soon you come to realize that the only way to escape is to help one another. 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. But remember that things are not always as they appear, even in the most controlled of experiments.

Full Features:

  • Unlock a powerful story revealed through vivid flashbacks and shocking plot twists.
  • Each character has independent attitudes, notions, and fears requiring you to build trust with the other character and overcome human and environmental challenges.
  • As Lea's extended eyes and ears, explore every corner of the eerie ship scouting the path ahead for unseen dangers and enemies.
  • Strategically employ high-tech surveillance equipment to solve ingenious puzzles including: the ship's Intranet, full 3D rotation cameras, light intensifiers, heat detectors, thermal vision, and even cameras on remote control vehicles.

The problem is, an unseen captor too is holding you prisoner. The only way to escape is to help one another. But who are you? Who is she? Why do you control both your fates? Is escape from this floating prison your only goal?

2 out of 5 stars 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.


1 out of 5 stars 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.


1 out of 5 stars I wish I could play it!   May 7, 2008
 3 out of 4 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.


3 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars Cool sophisticated but with a few minor flaws   March 23, 2008
 9 out of 9 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.
