    While this is a solid point-and-click game, as of 2014 it is more advisable for fans of that genre only, not holding enough extras for newcomers. I would recommend this game with some of the positives such as:
    The graphics are basic "Secret Files" style (but I like that style and some parts are well done, but not all). The music in places can be nice (but too seldom).

I would recommend this game with some of the positives such as:
    The graphics are basic "Secret Files" style (but I like that style and some parts are well done, but not all). The music in places can be nice (but too seldom). The story is overall a nice idea, and worth giving a go to see what happens. The mediocre score reflects the cons: Gameplay mechanics are frustrating (only being able to do something that is so obvious but needing to ask someone somewhere else about it first happens a lot. Makes the game quite plodding). More could have been done on the graphics and music. But most importantly, it simply not thought through enough, leaving many story lines hanging and unanswered, and not enough back story also. It leaves a slightly frustrated taste in the mouth. Overall, if you like this genre, give it a go. Keep a WT handy to avoid making the game longer than it should be. It is still quite a pleasant diversion, calm, easy, pleasant, simple even, it doesn't work overall, but it tries to get there. I still enjoyed it despite its flaws.    … Expand

    it has interesting setting but somewhat lacks of dynamic gameplay.
    graphic is not either good or bad and control is where it should be at but general feeling after 1-2 hours is
    it doesnt have what great games have... innovation, inspired story(something that pushes u to play through) and strong characters with so many adventure games out this year, i exited the game and silently    it has interesting setting but somewhat lacks of dynamic gameplay.

    pros:
    - decent overall mechanics and environments
    - the game doesnt suck outright
    cons:
    -nothing stands out as great in this game compared to other adventure games
    - feels very generic    … Expand

    The first part of the game is really strong: both the setting and the story are really engaging. However the game falls apart in the second part, and the finale is disappointing at his best. What a waste of potential

    Remarkable adventure shows how the world could end after the next global war and its catching story lets you (most of time) forget about the obsolete visuals.

    Alternativa is a point & click adventure that provides a good basic package but nothing more.

    AlternativA is a diamond in the rough: the themes are grown up, the puzzles solveable but the presentation seems old and the story isn't consistent.
