This demo will give you a chance to experience a completely new game concept. It contains 2 play sections that provide just a small taste of the full retail version.
Galapagos is a fantastic and dangerous place where up and down have no meaning, where rivers of iridescent acid and high-energy laser mines are beautiful but deadly artifacts of some other time. Through Escher-like puzzles and bewildering cyber-landscapes, the artificial creature called Mendel struggles to survive, and you must help him.
Mendel is a synthetic organism that can sense infrared radiation and tactile stimulus. His mind is an advanced adaptive controller featuring Non-stationary Entropic Reduction Mapping -- a new form of artificial life technology developed by Anark. He can learn like your dog, he can adapt to hostile environments like a cockroach, but he can't solve the puzzles that prevent his escape from Galapagos.
Galapagos features rich, 3D texture-mapped worlds, with continuous-motion graphics and 6 degrees of freedom. Dramatic camera movement and incredible lighting effects make your passage through Galapagos breathtaking. Explosions and other chilling effects will make you fear for your synthetic friend. Active panning 3D stereo sound will draw you into the exotic worlds of Galapagos.
Galapagos combines intricate puzzles, beautiful worlds, and revolutionary technology to create a phenomenal game. In five stunning and labyrinthine worlds, Mendel relies on you to adapt and survive. You must manipulate the environment to solve puzzles and coax Mendel through hostile, fantastic, mind-bending worlds. Test your reflexes and your mind as you and Mendel journey through the diverse landscapes of Galapagos.
