Wadjet Eye Primordia - A Point and Click Adventure - Now Available

[lightbane]

So, I replayed this around 10 years after playing it on release. Not much difference, it felt somewhat dated already, and it looks not much better, but I guess you can't blame AGS engine for doing that. Compared to older adventure games I played, at least the PC's movement speed is quite high. The devs' commentaries were good, but sadly they're not written as in Strangeland, which is a shame because audio sometimes is not good enough to understand what they're saying. Nevertheless, still a classic.
I wonder if Nier Automata somehow got inspired by this. Unlikely, but it shares some themes.

Glad you still enjoyed it. High movement speed and fast travel are IMO key QOL features. I gave up on Syberia because of how slow Kate Walker was.

Yeah, I wondered if it was “lampshading”; doesn’t really matter.

The whole problem is a lack of zooming!

[self-redacted]->Resonance diad was in both aspects let of game industry wise according to inbetweentheline of here.
Primordia was let off in its Formalism4 aspect and Resonance was let off in its Formalism4-hebephrene aspect both associated as is as of right now with modern low-bred "Russians".
PISS closes the list with Lacanism-everyday aspect of it, Formalisms actually unrelated.
Primordia has a constant de-sensezation aspect to it so does Beacon.
Resonance and PISS present widemarketably gaslighting heights.
PISS is not to be confused with earlier demo The City.
Primordia as a whole is not to be confused with Beacon.

The correct way to announce is that
Beacon->Resonance~PISS
were thrown off _further commercial games in exactly they were for undirected gaslighting-actual and usage undirectedly gaslighting-professional.

This is sort of mnemonical.
Beacon-Resonance~PISS.

Primordia/Fallen and The City (demo) are N O T carried with.

Nevermind.

Now on Steam Deck if that’s your thing.

OK!

have you tried it on the platform, and if so, what are your thoughts?

 

[MRY]

The game is worse on touchscreens. Loses the wiring puzzle, energy sensor puzzle in junkpile is worse, and overall the inability to user cursor to look for hotspots is irritating. But it’s still kind of neat.

Is it part of certification that you have to support touch-only input? Using one of the joystick's to drive the cursor shouldn't be a problem, right?

 

[MRY]

I have no idea. I assume the controls are like those on the Switch, which were similar to iPad—sticks just jump from hotspot or hotspot or something.

 

[agris]

Sounds horrible.

Good luck!

Right trackpad is used for cursor. Pushing left trackpad is use/interact and pushing the right one is "look at". The back buttons of the deck are used for option shortcuts like quick save, load etc. I had no problems playing for like half an hour yesterday and I'm not used to trackpads at all. No use of the touchscreen at all and no hotspot jumping.

 

[MRY]

Oh that’s great to hear!

 

[agris]

Maybe this version doesn’t need to cut those puzzles then?
