Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Harbinger

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Harbinger is an action adventure game in the FPP convention, bringing players into the universe known from the Star Trek DS9 series. The production was carried out by Stormfront studio, known mainly for its Stronghold strategy and numerous computer simulations of little popular sports disciplines such as baseball or American football.

In the game we play the role of a young Tirrion envoy, appointed as the ambassador of his people in the diplomatic corps of the Federation. During the journey, the hero's team is attacked by a mysterious alien race, which does not even retreat from attacking the DS9 station, where he finally manages to find shelter. In the course of events, it turns out that the ambassador to date was brutally murdered, and one of the main suspects is our figure. The player's goal is to solve the murder puzzle, find ways to communicate with strangers and protect the station from inevitable catastrophe.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Harbinger was created in a convention typical for first-person action games. This time, however, the sequences of the action are complemented only by the dominant adventure theme, connected with numerous dialogue issues and the need to solve logical riddles, slightly reminiscent of those in the Myst series. The game is set in a style well known to Star Trek's fans, and during the game we hear digitalized voices of serial actors such as Avery Brooks, René Auberjonois, Terry Farrell or Armin Shimerman.
