Hibernated 1 - This Place is Death






WooHoo, a new Atari ST game!

Hibernated 1: This Place is Death is a sci-fi text adventure by Stefan Vogt, and was released for a variety of platforms, along with our lovely Atari ST. We are Olivia Lund, onboard the intergalactic spaceship, Polaris-7, who has awoken from stasis in an abandoned ship that has been caught by an alien tractor beam.

Text adventures aren't often my cuppa tea - my brain needs to be fed visual wonders otherwise, it wanders. But I've enjoyed this rather splendid adventure, with its fantastic sense of humour. The parser is easy to use, with a two-word command system that includes Examine, Get, Open, Search, Move, etc. There are shortcuts: I for Inventory and R to re-describe the current location. Medium resolution is supported, but oddly not monochrome... The docs advised making a map, and that is a very good idea!!

Hibernated 1 is possibly the first of a new trilogy that can be downloaded and bought. Name your own price - which is a wonderful idea - thus play before you pay. Are any interested adventurers lurking?


UPDATE: You can now purchase a physical boxed release! :-)



This adventure has a great personality, with cheeky remarks and buckets of humour!



A droid is punching me, and I try to examine it. What was I thinking? A nice response though!!



Yikes, what is on that computer? The last thing we need is to be quarantined for four weeks!
