Waking up alone in the middle of space, Olivia Lund must piece together the events that caused her to leave hibernation early.
v1 (classic) uses the QUILL engine which can only be found here now. It's a C64 only release.
v2 (classic) uses the DAAD engine and was ported to more systems, including DOS.
v3 (director's cut) uses the Infocom engine and was substantially rewritten. 2-3x larger than v1 or v2.
Despite being a text game, some ports come with different graphics intros (C64, Spectrum, CPC, MSX, ??) while most do not. The v3 PC release uses the cover art from the box release.
I've played some of it on C64 DC (maybe 15%) and it's decent so far but I'm unable to compare it to Infocom or European text adventures. A trilogy is planned but #2 seems to be delayed, but there are previews around.
Doesn't seem that hard or frustrating, since it does help you with some English verbs you may need. Will finish this one though.
