Midnight Saturn

When I first played the demo, I thought I had to get the full game. So I did. I thought it was great in terms of detective thinking, but at times I found myself really stumped, and just clicked anything and everything 5x over. There were some solutions that didn't really make sense to me; so I wish there were more hints. I did very much enjoy the art, which is why I bought it in the first place. I found myself in awe of it, I thought it was very pretty and could make for some nice screensavers. The voice acting was really nice too. Overall a good game. I would find myself playing it again. [Tiny spoiler] Although the ending honestly, left a lot to be desired for me. I didn't like it and felt unsatisfying. I wish there was more to how they just left it. Kind of felt rushed?

Another cute and short Cosmic Void gem.

It's a little bite size but I dig the story and I found myself really enjoying it and really wanting to find out more about the world that the game is based in. You can tell this is a Cosmic Void game by how absolutely pretty the world is and how lovely the music can be. I do feel that the story line with the (spoiler, see last paragraph for the rest of the issue I had) but I like that the identity of the murderer made sense and how it was handled was very cool. Honestly with my complaint in the spoiler section, and that the game was a little bite sized I would have to say I would grade this game a solid B+ in the Gnome Ranking system. A solid purchase that you will enjoy. (spoiler warning be aware, do not continue to read past here if you want to be surprised) the story line with the brain parasites felt a little unexplored. I wanted to know more about them. Who are they, what are they, what's going down with them? I want to hang out with them more. It felt like that situation just sort of wrapped up with a, "we must go now, our planet needs us!"

I really loved this this game and its' predecessor - Neon Heats City. I love the lore and world building and find there's a lot of unique and creative plot and story elements in these games. While it's sci-fi, there's also a spiritual angle to these games. I wouldn't mind a trilogy. Cosmic Void always delivers, especially with art. The scrolling backgrounds on the rooftop and by the lake especially as you character walks through the screen is just so beautiful. The puzzles are well thought out - the story is strong, the characters are interesting and the voice acting is phenomenal. Highly recommended.

Midnight Saturn is a short but sweet point & click by Cosmic Void. High quality as always. Intriguing sci fi gumshoe story about interstellar smuggling and murder, with a twist I didn't see coming. Point and Click fans shouldn't miss this one! Want to know more?

Enjoyed it. Fully voiced is a big plus

Amazing game. Nice art/graphics. Well done voice acting. The next gem from Cosmic Void.

Cosmic Void did it again. Midnight Saturn is another welcome addition to any adventure game fan that enjoys a good detective story with a sci-fi twist. As Simm, you're investigating the death of a major player in the city and as he dives deeper down the rabbit hole he comes across a crazy conspiracy involving extraterrestrial beings. This is a very short (read a couple hours) game, but length doesn't define if something is good or not. The story, while not exactly award winning is gripping enough that I wanted to make it to the end to find out who the killer was. It was an unexpected twist, and I urge any fan of this genre to give it a try.

"Another one" from Cosmic Void. A classic pixel art point and click "detective" adventure game. I always have fun playing Cosmic Voids games. There are a couple head-scratcher puzzles; No moon logic puzzles- that you can solve if you really think about them. Don't let that discourage you from enjoying the game though. If you're frustrated and can't figure one out, there's a full walk-through available to view on the store page. Find the solution to the puzzle you're stuck on, and continue to enjoy the rest of the story. Thumbs up.

The style is commendable, but the puzzles, writing, and story are, shall we say, slightly deranged.
