The Experiment

eXperience 112 is an adventure game created by Lexis Numerique, a French studio known for such productions as In Memoriam (2003). The action starts on a powerful, deserted ship settling on an unspecified sea shore. A woman wakes up in one of his cabins. She is the most important character in the game.

I must admit that the authors had an original idea. During the game we cannot directly control or even verbally communicate with this woman. Our character is permanently "grounded" in the control room. We observe the heroine's actions through a system of cameras and, if necessary, we help her overcome any adversities she encounters. At the same time, we can only do this through appropriate manipulation of the environment. We have all the ship's systems at our disposal. For example, we can close and open doors, blink with light, start terminals or call the phone. In this way we help professor Lei Nichols, because that's what the woman is called, to move around and finally get out of the ship.

The woman initially thinks she is alone. We have to show her that we are on the ship and we want to help her. However, this does not mean that Lea will go mindlessly wherever we want to go. He has his own will, intelligence and emotions. Through our actions, we must win its trust. We must not allow her to suffer harm, and even if it is our job to help her get out of trouble.

As the game progresses, we get to know more and more details about the unusual ship, woman's identity, time and place of action and our relationship with the heroine....
