There are also some that are pretty illogical, not something I mind ecoquest as a player, ecoquest but I know this is a concern of some. The game also will maddingly dead-end if a wrong, less "ethical" path is taken. This might have seemed clever at the time, but it causes the player to have to retrace steps, including relistening to conversations, which I dislike. The ecoquest endgame sequence is extremely thorough, which makes for a satisfying wrap-up to the gameplay. It can be finished with one or all five characters. The sequence itself, however, consists of an unbelievably obtuse and metaphorical ending, very allegorical psychobabble, and is nearly as dense and incomprehensible as the subject from which it is taken.

| Ellison wanted a game "that you courtland cannot possibly win," and this direction was certainly followed. The characters cannot win but instead courtland must lose in the most ethical manner possible. The graphics are properly dark—the player is treated to twisted trees and a gloomy Egyptian courtland burial tomb, a dark abandoned spaceship, a concentration camp, and a dark castle. The game's design is similar to most third-person games from this period, reminiscent of the old LucasArts SCUMM interface, with commands to choose from to interact with the interface and an easily accessible inventory where items can be highlighted and then used with a click of a command verb. The puzzles are inventory-based and quite fun (if you could call anything in this sick game fun; I almost hesitate to use the word). The problem with the puzzles is there is an incredible amount of pixel-hunting, which must be done correctly or each story grinds to a halt. |
