You play as Fred Reynolds, a young university student whose Indian fiancee has been kidnapped by Kali worshippers bent on human sacrifices and overthrow of the Indian government. You must now make your way to New Delhi and beyond to find her and stop the evil cult before it is too late. The game is very pretty to look at. The graphics truly bring out the spectacular sights in India, and the photorealistic environments are very detailed (you can also pan around the screen similar to recent Cryo games). The best thing about the game is that your search is conducted on two fronts: first, during the waking hours, you will explore present-day urban India. But at night, in your dreams, you explore the magical India of old. This is a brilliant stroke that makes the game more satisfying. While the story is intriguing, the puzzles are quite average, and some even suffer from Myst-style 'we want to put a logic puzzle here for the hell of it, even if it has nothing to do with the story' mentality. Still, beautiful cut-scenes that appear to move the story along once you solve the puzzles make it worthwhile. The only problem with the game is that it is very easy, and very short. | ||
