About GRL Games GRL Games was founded in December 2010 by industry veteran Graeme Devine. The game has been rewritten from scratch for the Mac, with new tougher AI for the puzzles, new navigation and brighter environments. Clandestiny was originally released by Devine when he was at Trilobyte in 1996 as the company's third title, following The 7th Guest and 11th Hour. The enchanting story by renowned author Jahanna N. Solve "wee" rascally riddles and persnickety puzzles to learn the fate of this dimwitted clan! Three levels of difficulty pose a challenge to novices and experienced gamers alike. Join Andrew and Paula on this spooky adventure as you experience the castle's eerie rooms and hidden passageways, and encounter the angst-ridden ghosts of the family MacPhiles. "I always felt Clandestiny was the best game we made and we never really gave it a fair shake because we tried to publish it ourselves, these days the Mac App Store makes that actually possible!" There are over 40 minutes of animated story to go with the over 30 puzzles in Clandestiny. "Clandestiny is the perfect puzzle game for a family to sit down and play together," says Graeme Devine. He left his position at Apple to form a company dedicated to making the best game titles on the iOS and Mac desktop platforms. Roche Limit has two more volumes to move from good to great, and I’m anxious to see what will become of this little doomed colony and any of its remaining (surviving?) inhabitants 75 years in the future, and probably even more for the final part of the trilogy.A new video is available at: Devine is known for being the co-creator and programmer of the groundbreaking CD-ROM title The 7th Guest/11th Hour, and being the lead designer on id software's Quake III and Microsoft's Halo Wars. Your character is Andrew Macphiles, who inherited a haunted Scottish Castle. Its developer, Trilobyte, also created The 7th Guest. Good sci-fi has elements of futurism and “what ifs,” but great sci-fi has those things and, at its center, a human story that doesn’t make it seem so far-fetched. Clandestiny is a puzzle-solving mystery game released in 1996 and published by Electronic Arts, one of the company leaders that provides the best and the most popular videogames. I like Roche Limit and I will definitely pick up Clandestiny when it hits shelves in March, I only wish that the arc had been six issues perhaps, instead of five. I love the setting and lore that Moreci has taken care to explore, I just wish I felt the same connection to the characters and dialogue. I think this is a cool idea for organizing the trilogy, but it also means that these characters are all but dead to us now, as we fast forward in the next arc. Moreci writes at the end of this issue that the next volume of Roche Limit (Clandestiny) will feature a new artist and it will be set 75 years after the events of this issue. Now we’re left cheering for them to be reunited, or at least pardoned for past sins, but I was never quite sure why I should feel this way. Instead, we’re told they were a couple, Alex couldn’t leave Roche Limit due to shady dealings with a drug dealer, and…that’s about it. If we had been privy to more of Bekkah and Alex’s relationship before, then we’d be more invested in what might happen to them. I enjoyed the flashback scenes quite a bit, though I wish that the device had been used throughout this arc instead of just here at the end (as far as I remember). Malhotra’s art is still the perfect combination of sci-fi and noir, like Criminal on a dying space station. This issue does so much very well, however. Moreci, it could be argued, has presented so many storylines, belief systems, factions, and “soul rocks” (my term), that it was impossible for one standard length comic to close out the arc in a satisfactory way. Issue five has the unfortunate job of trying to tie up all of the loose threads of a story that has not shied away from loose threads. I’ve loved this series from the moment I read its description in the internet months and months ago, so perhaps I just wanted this volume to last just a bit longer. The over 5 minutes long introduction is a first of its kind, featuring unique cartoon-style graphics flawlessly designed with 3D computer rendered art work. Roche Limit #5 is a good comic that tries to do too much.
