Video Game Reviews of The Experiment

Customer Review: The Experiment
Summary: 3 Stars

Here you have to manage around by loocking through a camera and this is an experiement by it self. It is confusing and it is very easy to loose contol of your wherabouth. Most of the places are too dark. There are some very difficult riddles and I believe the game would be more fun and interresting if you where allowed to walk around in the rooms yourself than to control another person. The grapic is excelent with a lot of places to go so i believe there are many who would love this game because of that. The story is also very good. I would have rated it higher if I was allowed to search the rooms by myself.

Description of The Experiment

Ready for an experiment? In Experiment 112, you'll experience innovative-shared adventure across dilapidated ships, sweeping cliffs and across scenic coastlines. Mysteriously, you find yourself in the ship's operations room faced with a highly advanced panel of controls, surveillance monitors, and a wide array of sophisticated technology. As you watch the monitors for other signs of life, you discover a woman, Professor Lea Nichols, in a cabin connected to intravenous tubes. Unable to find a way to communicate with her directly, you realize that you are her only hope. She needs your help to escape her prison and get the medical help she desperately needs. The problem is, an unseen captor too is holding you prisoner. The only way to escape is to help one another. But who are you? Who is she? Why do you control both your fates? Is escape from this floating prison your only goal?
PC gamers, get ready for the next great Experience in Action and Adventure with The Experiment.

Over sweeping cliffs and across scenic coastlines, this innovative shared adventure begins in the bowels of an old, dilapidated ship grounded ashore. Mysteriously, you find yourself in the ship's operations room faced with a highly advanced panel of controls, surveillance monitors, and a wide array of sophisticated technology. As you scan the monitors frantically searching for answers to what this place is and why you are there, the only signs of life you have come across are a series of strange, curiously hard to identify animals, but then you see her; a woman.

'The Experiment' box shot
Help Yourself by Helping Her
Professor Lea Nichols is a research scientist in her thirties and could be described as beautiful if the strain of her situation wasn't so etched into her features. As hard as you try you are unable to communicate with her, but it is clear she is being held captive by someone or something and wants help. The problem is, apparently you too are being held prisoner by an unseen captor. Soon you come to realize that the only way to escape is to help one another. But how and why is it that control over both your fates seems has been placed into your hands?

Use the Tools You Have
If you can discover a way to use the few tools tools you've been given (the surveillance system, an Intranet and other technologies) to Watch, Communicate, Search and eventually Take Control, you may both have a chance at escape. But remember that things are not always as they appear, even in the most controlled of experiments.

Full Features:

  • Unlock a powerful story revealed through vivid flashbacks and shocking plot twists.
  • Each character has independent attitudes, notions, and fears requiring you to build trust with the other character and overcome human and environmental challenges.
  • As Lea's extended eyes and ears, explore every corner of the eerie ship scouting the path ahead for unseen dangers and enemies.
  • Strategically employ high-tech surveillance equipment to solve ingenious puzzles including: the ship's Intranet, full 3D rotation cameras, light intensifiers, heat detectors, thermal vision, and even cameras on remote control vehicles.
