The comparison of Malachi Rector to Sherlock Holmes extends to their characterisation too neither quite know when you stop talking especially when they have gone too far in a given situation. The characteristics that you can pick up by the examination of a person or an object allow for a different thought process and analysis of the other people that you converse with. Everything from chandeliers to plates, vases, and lamps rests in an antique shop Not all of them serve a purpose in pushing the game forward, but it wouldn’t make much sense if they weren’t there.īecause it takes some thinking to differentiate the important stuff to interact with with the stuff that’s either a red herrings, it can almost feel like a Sherlock Holmes story at times (I’m thinking more of Benedict Cumberbatch than Robert Downey Jr. A bouquet of flowers sitting on a piano of a deceased wife offering condolences. Again, the naturalistic way in which these items appear in the environments is truly something special, and adds a great deal of logic and environmental storytelling to the experience. Every room, alley or passageway features multiple objects and people that can be examined or spoken to. There’s also a lot of interactivity on display in the game. It’s the video game equavailent of a page turner, in other words. Moebius is such a well crafted mystery without actually seeming to be at those points in time as you explore around.

It feels a little odd at first, playing through a series of chapters each with its own start and finish, but, as the story continues on the overarching plot starts to make more sense and a grander mystery reveals itself. The story itself is divided up into self-contained chapters. All of these elements come together to create a near-perfect atmosphere that encourages people to explore. Some characters even have stronger or weaker accents than others, and that’s not simply a consequence of hiring different voice actors the accent also fits the roles they play so well as it would make sense in the context of a game set in what is meant to be the real world.
While in Italy, all the locals have an Italian accent while as over in Cairo the characters might be speaking fluent English, but the accent remains authentic. Plot exposition and dialogue alike seamlessly roll from one character to another making for a very believable cinematic experience. From the quality of the writing through to the actual voice acting, Moebius is a work of art. If I said that the narrative set-up was anything less than stellar I would be lying. Players take on the role of Malachi Rector, an antique appraiser, as he crosses the globe on different jobs for clients. The core requirements for a good adventure game are a strong narrative and interesting puzzles, and the good news is that Moebius does deliver a good adventure game indeed. Moebius: Empire Rising is a point-and-click adventure game that takes place in today’s modern world.
