Looks interesting but the description says it's a third-person action adventure shooter. So probably just another game with some RPG elements at best. Might give it a try.

Intrigued, but the developer seems to specialise in hidden object games. Seems like a bit of a jump to 3rd person sci fi-athon, so I think I'll wait on reviews...

Yes, its like that. You explore alien planet with some light puzzles, using items. I wonder if you really get some skills. Afaik they didnt show it on videos.

Another gameplay - the most interesting is the end with an Alien. It hints that the game could have slightly bigger ambition or mystery than it seems. Or they were inspired by Alien movie a lot. :)
