Adventure Game Scene of the Day — Thursday 25 September 2014
The third Moonstruck game is Voyage: Journey to the Moon (2005), based on Jules Verne. Kheops made some pretty good adventures. They had a distinct style and creative inventories. It’s sad that they’re gone.
If there are aliens out there, I hope they resemble the lovely Selenite in the screenshot. I don’t like the archetypal emaciated, pale alien with the big head and black ovals for eyes in the Pandora Directive, Drowned God, and yesterday’s AGSotD The Ward.

I played Voyage in December of 2006 and still have fond memories of those days.
Everybody wants to be Cary Grant.
Even Me.

Voyage is one of those games I bought on a sale sometime ago, but have never actually gotten around to playing. Perhaps I should give it a try?
You have to play the game, to find out why you are playing the game! - eXistenZ
Yes.
My Kheops favorites are the Return to Mysterious Island adventures, but Voyage is a good one too.

Isn’t this the game where you died very early on if you didn’t know how to create oxygen in the spaceship?
If it is then that’s as far as I got
And Karlok, just to add, the aliens in PD were based on the supposed actual alien descriptions at Roswell (I think).
Life is what it is.
I enjoyed Voyage but it’s not one of my favourite Kheops’ games. I still think of those timed jumps you have to do to start with when you get to the moon!
Yep, that’s the game, Jabod. Don’t let that stop you from playing it! The spaceship is not the best part.
IMO.

I’m yet to play majority of Kheops titles, so no harm done! (I agree - Return to Mysterious Island was revolutionary, especially in the puzzle department).

They were? I didn’t know that. But to tell you the truth, after I’d written how lovely the Selenites are I realized they too looked kind of emaciated and had big heads with dark holes for eyes. At least they’re not pale. And they wear cool clothes.
Prepare for a midweek special of my favorite aliens!

Does that mean Moonstruck is over? I know of at least one more Victorian game where the ultimate “goal” is to rocket yourself to the moon.

The Gene Machine is essentially an Earth game. My Moonstruck games do not take place on Earth. There you have it.

Best Kheops game, along with Mysterious Island and Dracula 3. All three were designed by a very talented Alexis Lang. This one is a real delight for steampunk and sci-fi fans.

Glad you’re back, Doom!
