Deliver Us the Moon vs J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
Deliver Us the Moon
Deliver Us the Moon is a narrative-driven adventure game that’s set in the distant future where humanity relied heavily on energy generated by Helium 3 from its lunar colonies and then transmitted to Earth to power the world and to help combat the death throes of a resource-depleted planet. However, in 2054, everything went dark and any burning hope humanity might have had for its future was rapidly extinguished.Five years have gone by since that fateful day, and after long last, you are now mankind’s one last chance to not only find out what happened to the colonists, many of whom have family members back on Earth, and to also save the entire human race from its death spiral. Will you make it?
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is truly a game that's very unique. Despite its apparent appearance - it does look like "just another space sim", doesn't it? - the game is a fun and innovative, story-driven adventure game with a heavy dose of mystery added for good measure. In this game, you'll get to step into the spacesuit of Rachel Manners, a 35-year-old astrobiologist who initially embarked on a critical mission to explore and collect data on potentially habitable planets with a crew of of other elite and hand-picked scientists, but somehow, things went awry, and she found herself alone with J.U.L.I.A., the space probe's rather tempermental AI and Mobot, the reconnaissance robot.Driven by a need to know, you'll need to help Rachel search for clues which might potentially explain the mission's failure and the missing crew. You'll also get to travel to six widely varied planets where you can then get to work trying to reveal their secrets. There will be plenty of puzzles and mini-games in your journey as well just to give your brain some intense workout from time to time.
That said, the puzzles in the game can be a tad bit frustrating to solve, mainly because it's the sort of "trial and error" puzzle-type. So, unless you have a thing or two against this specific game mechanism, J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is a really nice puzzle-adventure game to buy and play.
