Sentinel: Descendants of Time

"Sentinel: Descendants in Time" is a 2004 PC graphical adventure by Dedalion. It is a first person, point and click adventure game, but uses keyboard keys for walking and a mouse for actions and 3D panning.

A holographic sentinel guards the ruins - caverns left behind by the extinct Tastan race.

You play Beni who knows enough about the caves to be cautious. Only few who have entered have been able to find the way out. Now a greedy treasure seeker kidnaps Beni's sister and will only release her if Beni enters the most fearsome tomb of them all - the one belonging to Dormeuse, the Sleeping Woman.

Actively protecting her tomb, Dormeuse appears throughout Beni's exploration - taunting and challenging him. Sometimes her purpose is unclear. At other times she will actively protect, and, in doing so, will put roadblocks in Beni's way. Is she real .. or just an implanted artificial intelligence?

Gadget: Invention, Travel & Adventure (1993)

Gadget: Invention, Travel, & Adventure is an adventure game designed by Haruhiko Shono and first released by Synergy Interactive in 1993, following his earlier works Alice: An Interactive Museum and L-Zone.

GADGET sends players to a surreal, expressionistic Eastern Bloc country where a group of rogue scientists predicted the impending end of the world at the hands of a comet. You are employed by the mysterious inspector Slowslop to hunt down Horselover, the leader of the fringe scientists. With little fanfare, Slowslop hands you an old photograph of the scientists and dispatches you down the Grand Central Railway in search for any clues about what the scientists may be planning.

"GADGET is a nightmare. I don’t mean that in a pejorative sense. It very much has the qualities of a nightmare. The game ambles in repetitive and disorienting directions, chained together by irrational, non-sequitur plot developments. Imagery is bold and surreal, punctuated by out-of-body experiences and blurry detail. It is unsettling."
