It felt like a young girl being guided by her parents to discover things for herself. The first was very science fair experiment - testing things out just to see what would happen. The two parts had fairly different feels to it.
This game covers two tracts of scientific development - the gradual switch from the flat earth model to the heliocentric model, and the development of the physics of motion. Some, maybe most models, are confusing if you don’t know what concept they are trying to explain. You absolutely to read the journal entries though before you start with each model. There were a few models where I got the ‘right’ answer quickly to open the next thing, but went back to see that happens with other conditions. You are encouraged to explore the same things that Kai did, to mess with models instead of just finding the right answer. It is a very calming game.Īdditionally, it is much more interactive. With Odyssey, it’s more like a friend left behind a bunch of notes when they moved and you are exploring the things they left behind.
With ND games, there’s always some criminal or supernatural case you are supposed to solve sometimes I got so nerved out I would have to pause the game to calm down. One difference that I actually enjoyed was that there is no real sense of urgency. But that doesn’t make this game bad, just different. There is no handy task list or the ability to call a friend for a hint. The controls (maneuvering especially) are different. Yes, this game is very different from the Nancy Drew games Her Interactive is known for. The game is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and is ideal for middle school and high school students and for adults who like to read about science.
Players can expect a significant amount of reading. Gaming is seamlessly integrated with a historical approach to science and storytelling, through Kai’s in-game journal from which the player learns the story and the science content, which are needed to solve the puzzles. It does so by taking the player through an intellectual journey as the player is physically navigating through the islands. The game has an explicit purpose of teaching astronomy and mechanics from the ancient Greeks to Galileo. Help Kai and her family escape their captors on the Wretched Islands – and learn the history of astronomy, mechanics, and scientific reasoning as you read Kai’s journal and solve puzzles along the way! In this unique and science-based game, the player navigates across a group of islands in the Caribbean in search of a 13-year old girl Kai and her family trapped and waiting to be rescued. You have a mystery to solve in la-la land.Īnd he's not letting me do any sleuthing.Odyssey is an all-new engaging and innovative mystery adventure game. Please don't thank her for turning us in. Script-O-Rama afterwards - because reading is good for your noodle. At least you'll have some Nancy Drew quotes (or even a monologue or two) to annoy your coworkers with in the meantime, right?
I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and all that jazz, so if you have any corrections, feel free toĭrop me a line.
