One of my first PC games. Fond memories, I was playing it first on a 286, I think, in a computer class. There was something very special about the atmosphere and mood the game set. Haven't finished it in the 90's, mainly because it was in French and had copy protection (needed to enter a word from the game manual). Finished (a pirated copy?) many years later. I am still thinking about it in 2025 and I've been looking for other games that resemble it at least a bit since then.
What an atmospheric game! Its moving backgrounds created a sense of depth, the feel that the planet had life indeed. Clever puzzles, interesting part the different types of robots. Dear GOG, I would certainly love to buy this game again!
