4.0 out of 5 stars Myst Style Game Where Chemistry is the Basis of the Puzzles, July 5, 2010

We first discovered this game about seven years ago from the library. We loved it so much that we got our own copy.

It still works even on a Vista 64 bit computer, so it has had longevity in playability unlike some games that are unplayable with the next OS upgrade. Note - The same can not be said for the sibling game by the same company called Physicus. It will not play on a 64-bit system. I am not sure about Bioscopia which is yet another sibling game.

The storyline of Chemicus is that your friend has discovered this world called Chemicus. He is accused of a crime that has brought Chemicus to near collapse because the world is no longer working. The people seemed almost to have abandoned the place leaving you at free reign to move about to gather clues and try to fix things so that you can get your friend, wherever they have taken him for the trial, exonerated.

Some of the puzzles are not obvious even if you are good at chemistry, so having access to a cheat or walk-through here and there can make all the difference between progressing forward or getting stuck permanently. You get little knowledge chips as you progress through the game, so even if you are not a chemistry whiz, you can still work out the puzzles with a bit of digging in to the knowledge chip library of data.

The graphics are somewhat static by today's realistic 3-D standards, but they are beautiful. If you have ever played Myst you will get the idea of what type of a game style this is.

Chemicus is a bit confusing to get started and has few directions but it is a fun game. My 7 year old grandson loves it and the companion games-Phyicus, Bioscopia. He has learned so much from the information provided in them.
