Malachi often refuses to pocket every loose item, which falls in line with his stoic personality. Items that you pick up are stored in your inventory and, when necessary, are used or combined to solve puzzles.Īcquiring items isn't as typical as in other adventure games. The in-game menu lets you briefly highlight points of interest, removing the need to blindly click around the environment. Puzzle solving and exploration adhere to the traditional point-and-click formula, where mouse clicks allow for movement and interacting with objects. They travel through the cities of New York and Boston, walk the sandy streets of Cairo, and explore the dank recesses of ancient catacombs under Paris. The story moves at a brisk pace, with the two protagonists traveling the world in search of their quarry, all the while being targeted by mysterious men in masks who always seem to be one step ahead of them. Searching environments yields clues to be used in your investigations. Together, they find themselves in a race against time hunting down their targets before a shadow group discovers them first. Malachi soon finds himself paired with ex-soldier David Walker, whom he hires as a bodyguard. The organization believes that these individuals are destined to re-create a certain past event, bringing about a second Golden Age. His abilities earn him the attention of a secret branch of the government, which hands him the task of identifying and attaining special persons of interest who resemble particular people in history pivotal in changing the course of the world. His coveted skills in art appraisal have him traveling the globe to evaluate ancient artifacts and search them for signs of authenticity or fraud. Malachi Rector, the protagonist in this point-and-click adventure, is a brilliant man of considerable ego and antipathy. The plot, crafted by game design veteran Jane Jensen, has all the fluff and dramatic flair of a Dan Brown novel. But the brief moments of exuberance are hampered by mundane puzzle solving and uninteresting characters, making this 10-hour adventure not worth the time spent.
At first blush,the story seems intriguing. The game presents a theory that space and time are connected in a twisted loop, and at any given moment, important figures from the past reemerge, sparking an event that may change the world for good or ill. The axiom is often used by politicians and history professors as a warning, but the story behind Moebius: Empire Rising suggests we may not have a choice. Travel the world using Malachi's unique deductive powers to analyze suspects, make historical connections, and uncover the truth behind a theory of space and time the government will defend at any cost.It is said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Moebius: Empire Rising is a contemporary adventure that merges classic point-and-click puzzle solving with Jane Jensen's sophisticated storytelling.
