Gemini Rue 12+

I really had no idea what to expect, I bought the game based on it supposedly being a good sci-fi adventure. Well, thank you for the recommendation, it was just that! What an unexpected surprise, something that actually fit the reviews and suggestions!
Clearly, I personally loved the game, but if you're not sure whether or not to get it, here's a brief description... It starts off with no explanation of anything, which is great because that's the whole point of the game, figuring out the story as it goes along. It was like playing a movie that you are watching at the same time. But just so you know, it's a pixelated game, I guess it was an older game converted to iOS. But I personally like this look... just realistic enough without looking weird. And the motions usually take more than one action to do tasks, which can occasionally get tedious when you're just opening doors, but that's really not an issue when that is how you problem-solve situations and literally figure the game out.
Overall, really cool game with a great story. And a nice touch hearing Giancarlo Esposito do one of the voice-overs! 😄
Update: Giancarlo is not credited for the game... But it sure sounds like him!

Pros:
-Amazing, engrossing story.
-Logical puzzles offer some challenge, but med difficulty keeps the action going.
-Top notch voice acting.
-Amazing art direction, an entire world is created even with limited locations.
-Gun battles expand what is expected of an action game. The ability to die ups the stakes.
-The ability to tap the screen to see active objects saves you from the old Action game trope of trying to pick up everything.

Cons:
-Having to open doors repeatedly with a keycard or optical scan became tiresome. We get it. Make it automatic after the first instance.

-Hyper linear. For a story with many potential twists and turns, it was a little disappointing not to find multiple endings. Dialogue would hint at different possible outcomes without delivering.

-Occasionally when another character is accompanying you they can trap you in a corner and you can't get out. Save your progress often so this doesn't happen.

Overall:
Amazing game that should be the beginning of a franchise. Play it. Great for Adventure Game addicts and newbies alike.

The second you boot up the game and see the main menu, you know this is going to be good. The art and sound combine to create a dreariness that is simply amazing on a mobile platform. The mechanics are smooth and uncomplicated, the puzzles are tough yet not impossible without a walkthrough, and the story is incredible.

I know I'm late to the game on this one, but if you get the chance, this game is not one to miss. This is an experience you need to have.
