ASA: A Space Adventure is a first-person slideshow adventure game made in tribute to Riven and 2001: A Space Odyssey. You play in 2057 as an astronaut who finds a strange black cube, which will teleport him on an unknown spaceship called the Ark. You will soon discover that you're not the first astronaut from planet Terra to come here : Philip Forte lived the very same experience in 2011 and, fortunately, he left a diary explaining his story. With this help, you will visit the Ark and try to access the various environments and planets, with one single thing in mind : going back home ! ASA was created by a single person for the love of puzzle games of an era, and if you're fond of the Myst or Rhem series, it's more likely that you will enjoy this journey ! <<With a captivating backstory and engaging, challenging puzzles, ASA: A Space Adventure is a welcome addition to the pantheon of Myst-style puzzle-adventure games!>> (AdventureGamers.com)
I sorry, i don't talk english good. why 10/10 on ASA ? because best adventure game from very very long time !
First adventure game I play is Myst III Exile and is very great game ! After, I play Riven, and it is fabulous. For a very long time, I not find so beautiful game.
And then, I try ASA. I'm not sure I will like, because not a famous game, and it is space, not magic world. And first install : technical problemes ! Very deceiving first... But I try more and the game works (I install the 1.2 patch and it works !).
When I can finaly play, it is the best. Gameplay is the same that Myst III and Riven, you go from picture to picture and explore the environnement. The Ark is magic, not 100% science fiction : there is this yellow particles it bring irealistic. It's great ! And not always on the spaceship : after hours, you can walk on planete Kepler and planete Forte, and on a satellite around planete Terra. World of ASA very good, and intriguing. Want more !!!
I play over 30 hours, did not use the solution (walktrhu?). Was very very VERY difficult sometime and can make me angry. But is a big pleasure to find answer of a puzzle. Very difficult puzzles, but much more interesting than the average puzzle ! If you can't solve it, the solution is given in game. No problem, can finish the game in 5 hours with solution ! Piece of cake :) But much much better trying yourself !
Story is more good that what I think first. Part 1 of diary don't tell much, but after I get more and more interest in the story of Forté, and how to go home, and what is this place. Forté is very deep person, with strange personality, and it make the story very good to follow.
Graphic is very good with fantastic video. A shame that resolution is 1024 ! Pictures have pixels, but still beautiful, very good art.
Music is nice. Not the best, but go well with spaceship.
