In STELLAR EXPLORER is a science fantasy adventure game, with a twisting
plot and detailed graphical screens displaying the lay out of the area
that is being explored. In this adventure you are the captain of a star
ship that has just approached an alien space craft in a decaying orbit
around a planet. The engines have malfunctioned and you are sent over
to help in its repairs. As you move across the screen a portion of the
star ship is displayed, showing the surrounding area, crew members, and
alien creatures. In STELLAR EXPLORER you will encounter everything that
you would expect in a science fiction mystery novel - control centers,
air locks, cargo bays, locked and unlocked sliding doors, engine rooms,
science labs, and other mysterious areas that can be found on levels
that are "off-limits." If you do not know what a certain object is you
can point to it with the cursor to obtain a description. Certain areas
can not be found without having a map and a durable space suit. Health
and oxygen level will be your vital statistics. Different types of
scanners are available for detecting nearby objects and life forms - one
can never know what's hiding behind a corner. And you will find that
STELLAR EXPLORER has an extensive array of armour and weaponry, which
will be needed when the situation becomes desperate.
This adventure of STELLAR EXPLORER is actually a mystery that needs to
be solved, with underlying hidden plots that will unfold as you play the
game. Throughout the game you can have interactive conversations with
other aliens and your own crew members. With aliens you will have to
deal with their primitive English, or use a universal translater in
order to communicate at all. You can ask different questions, but watch
out! The wrong question could put you in an embarrassing and even
dangerous situation. Some aliens will be friendly, others hostile, and
others will behave friendly but secretly plot against you. Most will be
indifferent and will regard your behaviour as quite strange. But you
will need to form your own judgement to determine who to trust, for what
you thought was an ordinary mundane mission will turn out to be quite a
surprise -- who knows? Perhaps an alien will hatch out of your stomach.
