Perfect Defect Windows game

You find yourself in a deserted region on the outskirts of the collapsing empire. Tortured by dissensions and wrangles, these lands now are home to rulers, steeped in lust and corruption, gangs, making their own law, exalted fanatics, carrying out unnatural rituals, and ordinary dwellers, who are just too exhausted to care.

Once a vibrant oasis of life, the region and the whole world are slowly moving toward the dawn of the human era. In the classic sci-fi pre-apocalypse adventure "Perfect Defect", you get a chance to stop it. If it's worth stopping the apocalypse at all.

"When the great empires collapsed many believed that this is it, this is the end of humankind, the apocalypse. ...Let me tell you: it's NOTHING in comparison to what's coming next. ...But we have hope, we know how to receive salvation."

"Yes, sir! I had seen a few of them when I was a kid. A large crowd had gathered to see them arrive. They were all shiny and moved by themselves. It was pure magic!"

"People trade their minds and souls for it. It's so heartbreaking..."

"It was a brilliant technology, the pinnacle of human thought. It's disappointing to see what it has led to."

"...I heard 'em... I heard their voices that night! Who?! The jinns! They're calling from the desert... They want us back, back to the cradle!"
