About this game
A freeware game distributed in the late 80s via Macintosh's HyperCard system. It is a point-and-click adventure game where, after spending time in cryostasis a lone astronaut crash lands on earth. Seeking shelter in an abandoned mall the player must find a way out and figure out what happened to the Earth.
You were part of a crew on board the Wotan, one of the first interstellar spacecraft. Twelve of you were on a sub-lite journey to a nearby star and back again. Elasped ship time: 10 years. Elasped Earth time: 920 years. Since you left on April 1st, 2025, it is now 3005 CE. You've speculated on what things will be like back home. A millenium of progress or will some catacylsm have snuffed out human life? As the ship slides past Jupiter, decelerating against the slar wind, the Communications Op scans all frequencies for signs of activity. Silence. The ship reaches Earth and starts to establish an orbit when suddenyl it is raked by tracking beams..."To your pods!" yells the Cpatain, and you scramble to obey her. Beams of fierce energy leap up from the planet's surface and start tearing the Wotan to pieces. Crash-landed and alone on Earth you enter a nearby overgrown shopping mall and attempt to figure out what happened on Earth since you had left.
