Who is Aziz

Name: Aziz
Age: 35 Earth Solar Years
Class: 4D
Occupation: Technician
A.S: Marsi-3
Location: Jupiter Orbit

Aziz is the pneumatic technician on Marsi-3. Always 'rushing' to fix any problem with the system.

Aziz's boyfriend is hundreds of miles away on Titan. Communications seem to be a problem due to solar activity within the region along with Jupiter's magnetic field. He is coping with this situation by playing his favorite music instrument: The Recorder.

Endless Worlds in Point and Click Games

Since the player in Epoch has the ability to go for a spacewalk outside Marsi-3, it was inevitable that I needed to use an 'endless' room for simulating the infinite space he drifts in. Something like the desert of King's Quest V but with a little twist: you can mark a place you already visited in a specific part of the screen. I've used water for the space map, it vaporizes immediately and then freezes as little water crystals.

On the other hand, the deserts of Titan are marked by little marking flags that the player is supposed to find earlier in the game. Of course due to the non-linearity in Epoch, you can find a map of the worlds in alternative puzzles solves, or make another character do some of the tasks you need to perform on different locations on the maps.

Initial Gameplay Demo

Here's a short [initial] gameplay video making sure not to show any spoilers. As seen in the video, the player may chat with characters individually, or invite whoever is available in the room to a group chat for different topics and more clues. 

Puzzles have more than one way to solve depending on your intuition, and sometimes physical skills like handling the mouse clicks at specific times.

Alien Rage

I don't know where did my mom get this idea from... actually I think she got it from her mom who got it from hers... anyway, she used to 'encourage' us to finish off your plates by threatening us that the remaining food would be dangled off our eyelashes in Limbo!

AND IT WORKED.

It worked really good that as I was growing and watching the Alien movies, the alien sometimes used to kill people and leave parts of their bodies... so you know...
