In a desolate, ruined world inhabited only by robots, the taciturn android Horatio searches for answers. Where did he come from? Where have all the humans gone? And what, if any, was his role in it?
Torn from his peaceful existence in the crashed airship, the UNIIC, Horatio and his sarcastic floating friend Crispin are forced to travel to Metropolis, City of Glass and Light, to retrieve their stolen power core. What they discover there changes their understanding of the world and their place in it, for better or worse.
Full voice acting, featuring Logan Cunningham (the voice of Bastion) as Horatio.
-- Reviews --
Adventure Gamers - "Beautiful, surrealistic retro graphics; likeable characters and a deceptively sprawling plot." 4/5
Eurogamer - "Primordia is delightful, smart and packed with personality." 7/10
Rock Paper Shotgun - "A cast of thoroughly insane-in-the-short-circuited-membrane side characters keeps the ride nice and lively as well, complimenting the oppressively dreary setting with a strong mix of mystery driven drama, Old West frontier charm, and dark humor."
Gamezebo - "Primordia is a very good game, packed with enough secrets, surprises and twists to keep it interesting from start to finish." 4/5

A great traditional point and click adventure

Masterful storyline. Short and sweet dialogs give you more game play. You play the game , it doesn’t play you. Music so perfect you forget it’s playing. Intense smart intuitive puzzles, some very tricky. Hard to put this game down. I love the characters’ naming conventions. Original scenery.
A solid philosophical jaunt

Playing through this game, I found plenty to think about - a bit of Foucault here (Domus and Megalopolis, Panopticon), Ayn Rand there, and a bit of Orwell too. Add to this no less than two disparate Messianic visions and your basic dystopic bargain, and you’ve got a lot to reflect on by game’s end. The game mechanics are well planned too. While it is always possible to get to a good ending and a bad ending, choices made along throughout the game will determine whether you can get the best ending and the worst ending. and puzzles drive most of the action,
A classic adventure game to revive the genre

Plot was good, puzzles were challenging enough, voiceover work was excellent, a retro vibe and feel even further peaked my interest. The only reason I didn’t give this title five stars is due to a crash that renders the game currently unfinishable. Said crash occurs later in the game involving a puzzle solution of melting a door. Research shows this crash has existed in the Steam forums from the PC version which was reported back in October of 2017. I hope one of the devs sees this particular review, as I would love to finish the title.
Another marvelous adventure

Once again an incredible story, great puzzles, and lots of heart and humor. Just waiting for the next WadjetEye game now that I’ve finally played ALL of them!
Fun game but to many useless items
Zick Wad
This is a really good game with multiple endings. My only real complaint is that there are too many useless items and red herrings in the game.
5 stars if you use walkthroughs on occasion.

Yes, I did not feel like dealing with the more frustrating figuring out how to do things. I had actually put this game down and forgot about it and then picked it back up after enjoying some of the other Wadjet Eye games. the story became more engaging and immersive as time went on. Great storyline.
None better than Wadjet Eye

I absolutely love this game and everything Dave and Janet Gilbert do. Visually stunning, twisty/fun plot... Another masterpiece and I greedily ask only for more games and iOS ports from Wadjet Eye!
Mood driven in depth mysterious plot

This game is amazing! The music ,art style , and voice acting mesh perfectly together to envelop you in the world if primordia. The somber tone and story elements reminded me a touch of blade runner. I defiantly recommend downloading it. My one critisim is that the controls are not immediately available they appear when you hover over a certain part of the screen you don't get a menu until you find your data pouch ,but I suppose that was intentional to give focus to the landscape of the scene. Overall great game
This made my Day! :D

I played all of the Wadjet Eye iOS ports I they all have been a pleasure to play and figure out. I haven't even played this yet, brought it because they never disappoint. From the Graphics to the Gameplay your going to have a great time. :)
SO What I Was Looking for

This game is amazing, especially if you like point and click adventure. An awesome mix of a desolate, apocalyptic, biological/mechanical world, with lots of machines with their own agendas and personalities, not to mention a great plot. There are a lot of non-linear choices that affect the game later on, which is great, multiple endings, and the achievements 'actually' mean you did something out of the ordinary path. The voice acting is so good. The music is dark and draws you in. Thank you for bringing it to iPad !
