About This Game

You are the commander of the starship 'Cercopes', a freighter recommissioned as a scientific vessel. An ape designated as Subject 42 is hit by strange cosmic rays during an experiment. Now Subject 42 is faster, stronger and more vicious than any human... and he's out for revenge on your crew!

That's not your only problem... also aboard is an agent from P.E.T.S.S. (Promoting Ethical Treatment of Simians in Space) who will do all they can to hinder your crew and help the rampaging ape. Who among your crew is the traitor? And what do you do with them if you figure it out?

Based on an extraordinary comic book by Joe Assi, Insanium is a tense strategic nightmare with a tongue in its cheek that will be different every game!

* Real time strategy - while you're considering your next move, so is Subject 42!
* Retro Spectrum 48k style visuals.
* A range of weapons and items to help you in the battle... will you use trickery or attempt to defeat Subject 42 in straight combat?
* Secret items can be crafted, it's up to you to work out how.
* Inspired by a comic book and the work of John Heap.
* Four difficulty levels
* No two games will be the same!

Apparently this is a remake from a really old C64/spectrum game, and they made a great job on the graphics and music. Nothing is explained but once you get the gist of it, it's about moving from room to room and switching characters to do actions and guess where the alien is, pretty cerebral, slow and frankly archaic. This was acceptable in the very early 80s, on the first 8 bit computers, but difficult to recomend today unless you're really hardcore nostalgic. I might not be the target audience

After playing a few rounds of this, I can safely say this is pretty awesome for the very low price. It's almost feels like a single player Space Station 13. I do wish there was a turn based mode or a way to pause and give everyone orders before the NPCs change rooms, but this is fantastic as is. It does a great job of capturing the anxiety and pressure I would imagine having something awful loose on your ship would entice.
