Chemicus: Journey to the Other Side

Heureka-Klett, 2002


Chemicus is a classical adventure game developed in a Myst like environment with an educational theme. After watching the fantastic introductory animated sequence you enter your friend's house in an effort to rescue him. Your friend Richard is a expert chemist and while doing his routine experiments in a hidden lab he accidentally opened a portal to the bizarre and mysterious city of Chemicus. Before he could walk into the city some strangers kidnapped and imprisoned him inside the city. Your quest is to follow Richard's footsteps to Chemicus to rescue him and you must also solve the mysteries hidden in the city of Chemicus.

The puzzles in Chemicus are very challenging and hard to solve without having some good knowledge of chemistry and chemistry experiments students usually conduct in Labs in real life. Other good features of the game include brilliant graphics, extraordinary music and an easy to use point-and-click interface. On the whole, Chemicus is an excellent educational adventure game, which will definitely fascinate chemistry students and other adventure gamers.
