The Daedalus Encounter PC

The Daedalus Encounter is a science fiction-based first-person adventure game with elements of an interactive film, in line with the scheme of FMV games with live actors, which were popular in the 90s. The game was developed for Virgin Interactive by a relatively unknown American studio Mechadeus.

The plot of the game tells the story of three friends - cosmic marines at the heart of an intergalactic war. The action begins when the main character named Casey is deadly wounded and brought back to life by his companions Ari and Zack. However, since his body has been severely damaged, Casey is now just a brain, locked in a special life support system. In addition, the alien ship in which the heroes are on a collision course, and the only rescue for three friends is to search it and find a way to correct the flight parameters.

The game consists of three basic elements, among which one can distinguish conversations between the heroes (realized in the form of FMV sequence), exploration and solving numerous logical puzzles, which usually boil down to getting to know the principles of operation of various ship's mechanisms. In the game there is also a sequence, consisting of a labyrinth and several arcade elements. Due to the fact that the main character does not have a body, we cannot collect or use any items during the game.

The whole thing takes place in a relatively small window, because most of the screen is occupied by the interface, which is used for interaction of the hero's brain with the environment. In terms of binding, the title stands on a typical level for its genre, and the biggest attraction of the game is undoubtedly the participation of the beautiful Tii Carrerere, known for her roles in films such as The Rising Sun and The True Lies.
