Left click on a province or Strategic Region to select it. I found Inbetween Land thoroughly enthralling.Assign a province or Strategic Region to a number But this non-comic, comic-themed game may make a believer out of me. My comic crazy friends call their passion "graphic novels," something I’ve always indulgently smirked at. I applaud Specialbit Studios for creating a fantastic cross between comic and game. I was so caught up in the story and the scenery that I simply never noticed. I confess I can't remember whether there is any audio accompaniment. Two or three may be constructed from items at hand and the resulting "assembled objects" lead you to the remaining fragments required to make the other pieces. You’ll find roughly five objects per scene. The fragmented object games are intriguing. I want the games to be "doable," but challenging. If you're willing to apply more than a little brain power, you can figure them out without hints, something I really appreciate. You'll find plenty of tasks that require attaching steam pipes or moving blocks through a series of obstacles. The mini-games tend toward the mechanical and mathematical. And, the liberal use of static visual "shots" that drive the story almost look like a comic strip’s panels. In fact, Sky Island's diaspora look amazingly like the Avengers long-lost siblings and that Sky Island may be a hop, skip, and a jump from Krypton.Įxpect no voice acting, just voice over. Inbetween Land's graphics have a Roy Liechtenstein comic-book quality, but somehow it works with the theming. To assist Mary, you must also help the alien race to find the crystals they need to restore their home. In your search for Mary, you pass through the portal and discover the island is the abandoned spaceship home of an extraterrestrial civilization. You find Mary's obsession has led her to purchase a curio from the island that, through a series of clues, becomes a portal to that world. Between searching for clues in her rooms and reading notes Mary left behind, you discover she's become obsessed with Sky Island, a strange land mass hovering above the town. Lase welcomes you with open arms and invites you to explore the premises. You return to the orphanage to ask kind caretaker Mrs. The story begins with news that your childhood friend and fellow orphan, Mary, has gone missing. Where Haunted Hotel: Charles Dexter Ward was dark and gothic with Spanish moss-draped trees swaying in the bayou, Inbetween Land is bright and fanciful, with puffy white clouds dancing across a robin's egg blue sky. The last Specialbit Studios game I played was Haunted Hotel: Charles Dexter Ward, which couldn’t be more different from Inbetween Land than The Godfather is from The Rocketeer. Through mini-games and fragmented hidden object areas, you piece together the details of your friend's disappearance and how it ties into floating Sky Island. The CGG Inbetween Land review acquaints you with the plight of a missing childhood friend, possibly aboard a mysterious flying island hovering just above our world.
