This is actually more fun than the CCP version. Whoever did this, you are :awesome:. Pirate

Aura's oft repeated statement is still ringing in your ears as your blurred vision comes into focus.

You shake off your confusion at being instantly out of your capsule, dry and fully clothed and you take in your surroundings.

You find yourself standing on a tritanium alloy balcony looking down an industrious metal walkway leading to an open door. Above the door is the symbol of this station's owning corporation. The room beyond is bathed in the flickering light of an active holoscreen. A draught plays across the back of your neck.

What would you like to do now?

*Walk down the ramp to the doorway.

*Turn around and investigate the source of the draught.

You are right this is actually more fun than walking around in a single room, I think because of the anticipation of not knowing what is going to happen next.

Proves once again that fancy graphics alone does not increase sense of immersion.

So true gameplay should always come first to flashy graphics just like movie story lines should come first over lots of CGI. Having said that though a friend I invited via buddy invite is always telling me how Eve has some of the best graphics they have seen.

Lol! Jogged some nostalgic memories of Frederik Pohl's Gateway text adventure series.
Ah, those were the golden years of PC gaming *sniff*

P.S. Notice the indy/AAA scene resurgence on old games remakes lately.

cool stuff. I played it through 3 times in about 15 Minutes.

Amazingly that was 12 Minutes more than it took to explore all the content CCP produced over the last year.

Even the Eve text adventure I released ages ago managed two rooms, so still 100% better than Incarna.

(It also had 3 characters in one room. Three. THREE!!)

I never finished Zork. How about someone developing a Minecraft Incarna mod instead?

I am dissappointed.
I was expecting the likelyhood of getting eaten by a space grue.
