Alien Abduction?

Author:Charles Gerlach
Genre:Science Fiction>Alien Visitation
Released:1996
Review:

Are you crazy? Perhaps. Your father started rambling about aliens when he went mad, and now the same aliens are apparently giving you a series of intelligence tests in a simulation of your home town. A short Twilight Zone-ish story with a convincing rural Appalachian setting, a strong element of mystery, a back-story that's revealed over the course of the game, and a tricky double twist ending. It is possible to lock yourself out of victory by solving a certain puzzle too soon.

Rating: ****
