Earth and Sky 2: Another Earth, Another Sky

Part of Earth and Sky

Author:Paul O'Brian
Genre:Superhero
Released:2002
Review:

This game continues the charming vein of Earth and Sky, this time from the point of view of the brother in the brother-sister pair. This episode is longer than the first one, with relatively easy but well-designed puzzles and a compact, memorable setting. It features entertaining NPC dialogue, and advances the unfolding narrative arc quite nicely. Uses Glulx's multimedia abilities to include comic-book-style sound effects -- a very satisfying touch.

Rating: ****
