Kotaku "There's something comforting about the cold and dreary future of Wadjet Eye Games' Gemini Rue, the pixelated PC masterpiece now available on iOS."

Joystiq "Being able to play such a well-crafted interactive story on the go was an attractive option for me from the beginning, and Gemini Rue proves to be a great example of how the adventure genre can be adapted to a mobile platform. "

MacLife "If you like unspooling a good sci-fi detective story, Gemini Rue is well worth the investment. 4/5"

Edge Online "Gemini Rue is an accomplished homage that rivals the very titles that influenced it. 8/10"

Washington Times "It’s an old school masterpiece, requiring hours of game play that stimulates the brain rather than trigger finger."

App Spy "This is an excellent port of an excellent adventure. 4/5"

DESCRIPTION

A sci-fi noir adventure in the tradition of "Blade Runner" and "Beneath a Steel Sky."

Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, arrives on the rain-drenched planet of Barracus. When things go horribly wrong, he can only seek help from the very criminals he used to work for.

Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a man called Delta-Six wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Without knowing where to turn or who to trust, he vows to escape before he loses his identity completely.

As fate brings these two closer together, we discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy.

Reviews

A Big Bang for your buck
Ncadmin

This game has everything an adventure gamer could want. Dystopian game theme. Great puzzles. Awesome voiceovers that lend to the concept of the game. Everything fits in, the music, screen movements, and backgrounds and the way it play. If this game came out in the 90’s, it would have cost $60. This is a steal for al the game play and great storyline. Played and auto saved perfectly on my iPhone 6s. Kudos to the developer.

Disappointed

Not what I expected. Bought it based off reviews comparing it to Facility47 but this game is nothing like it.

Great game

A rare and unexpected gem of an adventure game, I hope the developers continue to provide us with quality games

Wadjeteye makes another winner!

I really loved this game. Technobabylon is even better than this if this point and click game style is to your liking, in my opinion of course!! But Gemini Rue is well worth your time and money!

Meh, it’s a decent adventure title

I love the world building here and just about all the scenes on barracus were fun, but the scenes in sector 7 (I think that’s what it was called) got old after a while. I get you are trying to make the user feel trapped like the character by making us walk through multiple doors, but sometimes it just felt downright tedious. I also think the game could have used a bit more humor and the ending was ok-ish —just felt kind of flat. I would play a sequel though. There were definitely some amazing things about the title. Blade runner ish and even some cowboy beebop flavor too, it just feels like it’s missing something.

Blown away

This game is absolutely perfect, especially in terms of the story. It becomes more and more interesting as one goes.

Disappointing

This game was extremely linear and repetitive. Got bored with it about halfway through and just wanted it to be over. Just a really amateurishly put together game overall.

Great game!!!

If you’re into old school point and click adventure games, then this game is pure gaming bliss. Great characters and deep, rich storytelling, all of which is steeped in a rich atmosphere.
