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)
It is very personal (even if the game is objectively fantastic!).
I'm an "old" gamer; I played Myst and Riven as soon as released in their beautiful big boxes, and I still remember the emotion of discovering such beautiful worlds full of beautiful puzzles, my favorite feature in gaming. Everything was perfect in this amazing, striking and friendly game.
After so many years ASA reminded me of those beautiful times... enchanting graphic environments stuffed with logical and intriguing puzzles! To me playing A Space Adventure was breathtaking and brought me back emotions I was almost resigned not to live again...
I'm hoping that Simon, apart from his other projects, will go on creating adventure games, for the sake of a genre that should never die.
