Primordia, a robotic point-and-click adventure game with enthralling story and pixelated graphics, is now available on GOG.com, for only $8.99! That's 10% off, this week only!

Horatio is a devoted scholar, a philosopher, a hermit, and an able constructor. On top of that--he's a robot. He spends most of his time trying to repair the "Unniic", a long defunct airship, that also serves as the permanent shelter for Horatio. The only company he's got is his snarky sidekick, Crispin, the floating orb-bot put together from pieces of junk--or spare parts, as Crispin insists--salvaged in the rusty wasteland. Both of them lead a relatively peaceful existence in the post-apocalyptic desert, until one day a rogue war-droid raids the Unniic and steals its power core. Our heroes have no other option but to chase after it. A dangerous task, yes, but Horatio has faith that The Gospel of Man will guide them on their path. So begins a journey into the uncertain future, that will also reveal the ominous past.

Primordia is a masterfully crafted point-and-click adventure game with an exceptional premise and setting. The vision of the post-apocalyptic world, where man is not more than a myth passed on by one generation of robots and automatons to another, is something that will haunt your dreams. In Primordia you witness the world from the perspective of an artificial being "living" in a civilization of machines, and that allowed the developers to create a very unique storyline, that seems very alien and familiar at the same time. The puzzles are logical and creative, often making use of the game world's distinctive features. An eye-catching art-style combines the qualities of hand-drawn graphics with those of old-school pixel-art. Even though the post-apocalyptic future may seem dark and the questions that we face during our mission are profound, the game still manages to sneak in some quality humor and pop-culture references. Horatio's lines--serious or not--make an even bigger impression, as the character is voiced by Logan Cunningham ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RTkUgov60g" target="_blank]this voice[/url])!

Don't let the rust get the better of you. Discover the fate of the humankind and the origins of homo sapiens mechanicus in Primordia, for only $8.99, until Wednesday, December 12, at 10:59AM GMT.

kelseyr713: Hey everyone! I reviewed Primordia for the website I am an editor at. Check it out! I absolutely loved it.

Great review! That's amazing that there are seven different endings.
Genini Rue was a masterpiece. Some of the best story telling I've come across in a video game and probably my favorite adventure game. So needless to say I'll probably be picking this up.

However I'd rather acquire the disk version of this game and Gemini Rue since I haven't added anything to my game shelf in a long time (not with modern DRM trends). I get stuff from GOG because they're games I can't find or they don't run on my modern PC. And let's not forget the awful DRM of old and new :D

johnki: I can't quote from the phone but to whoever asked, I'd estimate that it was 5 or 6 hours.
Furthermore, I'd estimate that the demo is about 1/3 or 1/4 of the game (content-wise...some of the later puzzles may take a while).

Will buyers of the physical edition be getting GOG keys as was the case with Resonance? Dave Gilbert basically said that he'd give keys out if you guys give him keys to give out.

Resonance and Defender's Quest set something of a precedent... Can we have keys? =D

Nice catch! I played the demo but didn't pick up on that.

mondo84: Great review! That's amazing that there are seven different endings.
I was shocked...definitely not something that there is precedent for in an adventure game, at least any that I have played. Thank you for reading!

Thank you for reading! I played the game over three days, and I would estimate that it took me about ten hours. There's also a lot of replayability due to the different endings and a commentary.

Haha, yes, that was awesome! I made a list of references I found in my review.

So I saw,also I can think of at least one adventure game that had multiple endings,well two or three such as Ripper and Quest for Glory but those were more of slight changes to the overall ending rather then being completely different outcomes, but Tex Murphy Pandora Directive that one had three paths you can take based on your actions: Mission Street(good path), Boulevard of Broken Dreams(selfish/bad path), Lomard Street(neutral path) each with a set number of endings specific to that path Mission street path has 3 possible endings, the Boulevard of Broken Dreams path has 4 and Lomard Street has 2 endings.

Awesome release.
Did anyone receive their steam keys yet ?
I e-mailed them on launch day about it, but they haven't gotten around the reply yet.

Kind of wanted a steam "backup" on top my my gog version. I mean, it's free so why not ? :p

I'm up to the part where you have to find the council code. What a great game. Could be up there with my favorite adventure games along with grim fandango and to the moon.

also the soundtrack is incredible. Dreams of Green is beautiful. I was amazed when i found out it was an original song. I need the name of the vocalist.
Glad to hear people are enjoying this.
