Reprobates: Island of the Damned (computer game)

Customer Review

As in the first two games historical events are cleverly linked with the present.

Reprobates is the perfect blend of death experiences, nightmares and madness.

After the actor Adam was killed in a traffic accident, he wakes up again in his accommodation on an island in the Caribbean. However, the island does not seem to be a vacation paradise: The landscape is inhospitable and the accommodation very simple. Each of the more than 10 residents has a rotten container. These are completely identical: bed, toilet, shower, folding table 2 square meters, nothing else. The scenery is out of a cliff and wilderness forth nothing.
Caribbean flair on social level.

The only building on the island is a bell tower, with which it obviously has its special Bewandnis. From here, the events of the island, the daily routine and the thoughts and dreams of the residents are controlled by a mysterious power.

Adam quickly realizes that the other 'guests' of the island appeared immediately after dramatic events, and now and then disappear again what.
One meets, inter alia, Ismail, who in New Orleans who was killed in a hurricane in 2005, Boris, a Bohrturmarbeiter from Russia, Dorothy (secretary at the WTC in New York, died 2001), Maria (prostitutes from Turin, died in a terrorist attack in Madrid in 2004 ), Danica (died in 1993 in a bomb attack in Sarajevo), Yakuko from Japan that it has caught the earthquake 1995 - 'and each one is convinced that the year of his own death, the present is.

Each resident also has a very distinct character: Boris is a convinced communist and supporter of Brezhnev, Izmail a religious fanatic. Danica is depressed (awaiting death and speaks of suicide), Hermann is arrogant and unsymphatisch 'and keeps all crazy Yakuko is traumatized and Maria finally thinks that all here perform a role-play and they ended up only for one day on the island is. You feel quickly at ease in this society.

Of course it depends on the second day to strenuous arguments and later everyone keeps each for the sinister events responsible.

Task of Adam is to fathom why he has ended up in this mysterious island and especially how he can leave.

But every time he has come a step closer to this goal, hitting the bell and all the inhabitants fall instantly in sleep and wake up the next morning in their containers with the loss of all memories and objects on.

Who brings the residents at night in their container and ensures that the food supply? Who is responsible for the bell? Why do the residents at night always the horrible nightmares? Who decides which person comes to the island and when she goes again?

By the time Adam fall on geheimisvolle messages and signs. '
Is this island camp about a large-scale experiment of a higher power?

Within the dream scenes comes a new element to the game, has waived the Future Games so far: Action deposits under tight deadlines and skill games that do not become apparent from the context.
As the pushing around of balls should be interpreted using the arrow keys to specific locations on a predetermined pattern, remains unclear.

Adam depends on a crane over a deep abyss; later he must balance sent to a huge unstable scaffolding.

On the day of the events going on the island leisurely. At night, the stressor is higher so. Skill exercises on a large construction site, logistical decisions under time pressure at an accident scene on the second night.
On the third night scene - one of the highlights of the game - is finally the Black Mirror feeling back. Eerie incidents, mysterious calls, shock effects (including heads of people be awakened from the game) and a madman who aspires to a life and you never know where he is presently operating in the macabre and creepy environment ... This chapter replaces the best scary movie.

Really exciting the story is only at the following days when many a riddle gradually clears.

This time has been dispensed with annoying sliding puzzle, the superfluous and almost unsolvable minigames in the first two nights relativiern this advantage, however.

A teleporter map (as in BM) would have made sense - the constant climbing up and descending races between the container camp and the hill with the bell tower is not exciting.

So some of it is quite strange and quixotic: Which living seagull can be around for hours just so carry around in your pocket and then one more time just to implant a microchip?

Negative is also to be noted that the clothing of the islanders often very sparse and often fails held talks in the shower.
For players under 16 years old the game is, therefore, not suitable.

Some bugs spoil addition the game: A toolbox on the scaffolding can be only at the 10th attempt and at least the third restart the game randomly open 'or not.
Who installed the update, can start over, because the scores can no longer be used and can be used that is about 1 hour play time on a 1.5 GB RAM (continually increasing) and the game speed goes to zero, you have probably accept.
