Nathan's Second Chance | |
English:
An Adventure that makes Death Fun.
That`s how the game starts for you, as Nathan ? walk out of the door, have a heart attack, and diec to be greeted by this flying yellow bus and taken to some sort of research post in deep space...
When there you find out why you`ve been taken toc well, not the afterlife, exactly. You see, you`ve going to be getting a second chance... a chance to sort your life out, basically. Reconcile with your daughter mainly... which may not be easy. With information from a slide-show and a little help from your friends, however, you may just be able to pull it off...
What we have here is a traditional point and click adventure, and a well executed one it is. However, what I really liked about this game was the surreal, slightly warped humour that came from both the characters and dialogue, along with the fact that this is a game with a heart. The author, Tim Knauf, has done a great job with that and also in making sure there is plenty of variety in the type of puzzles to be solved, without any of them being real stumpers. All in all this is a great little game for anyone who enjoys adventure games, while serving as a perfect introduction to the genre for anyone unused to them

Authors Description:
"Where Death can be a Positive, Life-Enhancing Experience"
What do you expect when you die? Shining light? Booming voice? Rotting slowly in the ground? You probably don't expect to be greeted by a grouchy old crone in a flying yellow bus, but then, neither does Nathan.
Welcome to a world where things are a little different to what you've come to expect. A world where incompetent eccentrics rule the sky. Where the afterlife is only a telephone call away. And where a disappointed, disillusioned dead man can have another go at his weekend.
