Mission Supernova

Mission Supernova is a shareware adventure in German. The player is “Horst
Hummel”, the spaceship’s chef de cuisine. Usually this would be a job without
much stress, but when you wake up, the whole crew is gone. You’re alone on
board.

The game is a classic point & click adventure. It features a verb-based
interface very similar to early LucasArts games, e.g. Zak McKracken or Maniac
Mansion. Like in those games, gameplay mainly consists of exploring
rooms/scenes, collecting various items and solving puzzles. Some items can be
combined to form new items, and most of the puzzles require clever use of
collected things. From time to time, talking to other characters is also
necessary, which involves choosing among different dialog options. Some scenes
have a time limit, and it is also possible to die or get stuck in various
ways.

Scenes are rather static, there is no scrolling in rooms. The main character
itself is not visible in game, somewhat similar to Myst, although the
perspective is not really first-person. You can interact with items at the
other side of the room without actually moving there.

Mission Supernova is split into two episodes. The first episode was
available for free, whereas the second one had to be ordered for money
(shareware model). Meanwhile, both episodes can be downloaded for free.
