SelectButton: "The much awaited paranormal mystery adventure game Moebius: Empire Rising is the latest title from acclaimed novelist and video game designer Jane Jensen. She is best known for her work with the classic adventure game Gabriel Knight. With the help of Phoenix Online publishing they were able to deliver a game with an elaborate storyline with complex characters and beautiful settings."
Good storys are quite rare among the videogames business nowadays. So much the better, if you finally find a game with a moving story. The first game Gameplane.de's Editor in Chief ever played was Gabriel Knight: Sins of the fathers, which got a remake recently. That wouldn’t have been possible without Jane Jensen – so it was time to ask one of the icons of the adventure genre out. Enjoy Gameplane.de's interview!

"There is nothing more disappointing than a game that has promise, but fails to deliver from just about all fronts. Regrettably, Moebius: Empire Rising is one of them."
DHGF: Moebius: Empire Rising is an adventure game with an interesting premise and the potential to expand into a series. Though there are issues with some character development, a few minor bugs, and graphics, the game manages to be entertaining for the most part. The Dan-Brown-esque story flows rather well and the characters are entertaining, especially David Walker. The voice acting is generally great, namely the performances by Owen Thomas and Colin Benoit, the puzzles are fairly intuitive, and the soundtrack is top-notch. I imagine there will be mostly mixed reactions to the game, especially the phoned in ending, but my personal experience as a history and sci-fi fan was that the game was enjoyable and my interest has been piqued for potential future installments of the series.
