The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 Cup Not serious entertainment
2 Cups A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups A good game, worth playing
4 Cups A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups An outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

A top secret experimental military facility has a primary power failure. Marina, a plucky young soldier, wakes up in the middle of the crisis, injured and disoriented by the absolute darkness. Recalling her training, she must make it to the Shelter before her commanders invoke protocol 13. Along her way she uncovers clues about the fate of the facility as she grapples with her own evanescing sense of self.



This short game is the winner of the April 2012 MAGS competition. The theme of that competition was "distorted senses".

AGS Panel Review

"While the game essentially has you solving puzzles in complete darkness, the setting and developments make the effort worthwhile."

Very short game with interesting concept and good atmosphere.

Very nice short game. Everything in this game is exactly as it should be. Definitely worth playing!

A quick experience that is definitely worth playing.
The game has you in complete darkness for the majority of it, but that is what makes it so gripping; its as though you yourself are trying to feel for a way out in complete darkness.
It actually scared me, so I had to play on easy and in a window, and to me, this means its good.

Very short. Easy. But I enjoyed playing it! Good story, and the music cues works fine. Would recommend everyone to try it on Hard Mode the first time they play it.

Short and simple, but a great concept that works perfectly with the tense horror atmosphere. Definitely worth a play.

Short but perfectly crafted.

Excellent work. Highly atmospheric. The darkness premise could have been frustrating but works to heighten the tension in a game of this length.
