Despite its mesmerizing art style and simple controls, Abducted doesn’t really offer much in the way of challenging gameplay or an interesting storyline to keep us engaged for very long.
Alastair at GameSpew writes: "Abducted is a point and click sci-fi adventure that parachutes you into a hostile and unfamiliar world. Getting abducted by aliens is the oldest story in the book, but it’s a narrative that hasn’t been explored very often in video games. Originally developed for iOS, Sunside Inc. is attempting to upgrade the experience for PC gamers.
Considering it’s called Abducted I was hoping to play through an actual alien abduction: I expected spotlights, low-flying UFOs and anal probes. Story-wise however, the game is all about what happens after abduction. The Early Access release features an unfinished single player story mode and, in what might be a nod to Ripley in Alien, the playable characters are all women. Any comparison with the films pretty much ends there though because at this stage the game doesn’t do a great job of putting you on the edge of your seat."
A new episodic horror-adventure for the iOS, PC, Mac, Linux has just been released. Check out the launch trailer.
PG - "I have severe internal injuries, but my magical space suit is juicing me up with enough drugs that I'm just about able to crawl around."
I had some hope for this one. Sad to see such a low rating.
