Snail Trek - Chapter 1: Intershellar

Chapter 1/4 - just read the game's title, did it make you chuckle, even a little? After seeing all 4 chapters' names, I had a good feeling about the adventure to come and I was not disappointed. This "tap and type" (although, you can point and click in some cases too) game is very enjoyable and the text parser works quite well. Explore the scenes, but also explore the text parser - the tab-complete, auto-correction and up-arrow-for-prior-input are all a real nice touch. Funny and well worth the about 1 hour of entertainment it provides.

The first episode of a fun little adventure with space snails !

A fun, quick 20 minute adventure in the vein of the old Sierra typing games. Well worth the asking price!

This game is a great homage to the classic Sierra titles! It's a bonus if you love snails! As it's free this can more be seen as a prologue/beginning for the full saga of Snail Trek, of which there are three more chapters. I definitely recommend this little game and can't wait to finish the other chapters :)

A terrific bite sized throw-back adventure game with a surprisingly robust and advanced parser interface. I was initially put off by being thrown back into that style of gameplay, but quickly fell in love with just how well executed it was in this series. The gameplay is backed up with some solid writing, quality puzzle logic, and terrific EGA-esque spritework. This isn't like the games you used to play, it's what you remember in your rose-tinted memories of those games.

[h1]Old-school adventure game with a traditionally silly theme. At least the Chapter 1 is neat, though short.[/h1] A blast from the past, Snail Trek uses an archaic typing controls from the adventure games of late 80s and early 90s. While you can move with arrows, any actions are taken with typing the command (e.g. "use mop" or "talk"). It's so old and clumsy it feels almost refreshing. Yet it's not that clumsy after all, since the predictive text input hints at useful words, and... well, the game is not very long nor requires phrases that complex. But it's only Chapter 1. [h1]Snails on a plane[/h1] Story is simple and silly: a race of snails are seeking a new home world on a suspected lettuce planet. You're one of the scout snails. But something has gone horribly wrong! Since the story is only 1-hour long, let that suffice for the story. The setting is amusing and the narrative does offer some rough gems, though nothing comparable to the masters of the genre. For instance, the t...

Snail Trek is a really fun little 20 minute Sierra-like point and click adventure. The scenes, characters and dialog have been lovingly crafted to feel very much like one of those much-loved games. The best part of Snail Trek is the text interface which works amazingly well, and it very flexible. To finish the whole game will just take about 20 minutes, as the description says. However to get all the achievements requires you think outside the box and do some searching.. That brought the play time up to about 45 minutes for me. The puzzles aren't by any means hard. You can easily figure out how to complete the game and you don't have to think in convoluted crazy ways, like in some of the Lucasarts games "try everything on everything"... It's all pretty logical

Intuitive text commands! Autosave! S.N.A.I.L.S!!!!!! This game is freaking great! I honestly can not qait for installment number 2. https://youtu.be/ZnDxdhlxBiM

A wonderful simple game that takes me back to when 'building a PC' involved actually setting DMA/IRQ/IO switches via jumpers on the board you were installing and then telling the OS what DMA/IRQ/IO you were using (No PNP back then kids).. Younens with their lego sets that think placing a heat sink on a CPU with some paste and clicking colour coded modules into place and calling it 'building a pc' stay away. This is not your game. The rest in the series are wonderful and refreshing as well.
