Empire Rising

Moebius, a contemporary metaphysical adventure from the master storyteller Jane Jensen, the creator of Gabriel Knight and Grey Matter, is available for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com for $29.99.

When a secretive government agency enlists Malachi Rector to determine whether a murdered woman in Venice resembles any particular historical figure, he is left with nothing but questions. Why would the U.S. government hire him--a dealer of high-end antiques--to look into a foreign murder? Why does David Walker, a former Special Forces operative he meets in his travels, feel like someone Malachi’s known all his life? And how come everytime Malachi lets his guard down, someone tries to kill him?

Moebius is a contemporary adventure that merges classic point-and-click puzzle solving with Jane Jensen’s sophisticated storytelling. Travel the world using Malachi’s unique deductive powers to analyze suspects, make historical connections, and uncover the truth behind a theory of space and time the government will defend at any cost. This thrilling new adventure game from master storyteller Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight, Gray Matter) and Phoenix Online Studios (Cognition, The Silver Lining) introduces Malachi Rector, an expert in antiquities whose photographic memory and eye for detail transform people and clues into interactive puzzles. The game comes with the original soundtrack both in high-quality MP3 and FLAC format.

If you miss the times when adventure games were played mostly for the great and immersive storytelling, not just for the puzzles, humor, and views, be sure to get Moebius for $29.99 on GOG.com.

Niggles: Wait til Dreamfall Chapters comes out (and if it comes to GOG even) -- that will be at least 29.99 if not more....
I would throw all the money Ragnar and Co. would be asking if I haven't already donated embarrassing amount to their Kickstarter :o.

It is great to see Moebius released and on GOG! I look forward to play it and watch the live stream tonight.

RadonGOG: Oh, and @JackKeane II: Couldn´t it be that the magazine reviews just were so bad that nobody wants to buy it?
Nah, that can't be the reason. ;)

Novotnus: But I hope this one will be much better than his games :)
At least he is trying to do something new... as opposed to a majority of his AAA colleagues.

Perfect release. We need some more bonus content with it.

I don't mind the way he tells his stories (interactive fiction is as good as any other genre). The stories, on the other hand... well, they can do without casual sex (with and (un)dead guy in one instance) and those characters could use some actual personality :)

Tempted, but the list of point and clicks I've bought but never played is longer than the golden gate bridge. Maybe if it looked more unique, but it doesn't.

Game actually looks great when it's not zoomed in on the characters.

Well, yeah, his storytelling skills would handle some improvement (especially regarding romance element) but a popular indirect saying he is Uwe Boll of industry isn't fair, imo. I don't see people complaining about facepalmish human reaper from a certain game, about ego-catering HL2 personalities or terrible Alpha Protocol romances. All of these are not very well written parts of games that are known to at least similar amount of average gamers.

I am sorry for going OT however it seems to me that criticizing Cage is more of habit these days.

I'm right around Chesapeake Bay Bridge myself.

Anyone know how long the game is?

Actually I think he improved a little and my critique used to be heavier - Jodie was likeable at points (when the game wasn't pretending to be a Michale Bay movie); the paranormal element was a mess but an enjoybable mess.
Ethan, on the other hand...

I agree. Luckily, the game offered kinda bad-ass ending without him.

To add to the topic, here is the link where Moebius livestream will be available today from 8 PM CET.
