Forever Space

Forever Space is a space-themed adventure that mixes exploration, mystery and the sort of cosmic atmosphere that makes you wonder whether your spaceship really has enough fuel to get home. Developed by Pinhead Games, it focuses on discovering what is happening around you rather than simply blowing up every spacecraft that appears on the screen. The game has the feel of a small, independent science-fiction story, with exploration and problem solving playing important roles. Its modest presentation works surprisingly well for the setting, leaving plenty of room for imagination. If you enjoy obscure indie adventures and science fiction that does not require a gigantic budget to create an interesting universe, Forever Space is the sort of overlooked title worth investigating.
