Foreign Soil
About
'I couldn't go to work yesterday because when I woke up
I was on a strange, faraway planet and was supposed to start a colony there
– alone!'
Foreign Soil is part sci-fi, part surreal story about - well, about what, really?
Probably you can judge that better than I can.
If it were a film, it would certainly be a French-Korean co-production.
The puzzles in the game are not very difficult.
Age recommendation
Although not particularly serious overall, the game is NOT suitable for younger children, as there is swearing at times and references to alcohol consumption. Also, you can die in about 10 different ways and although this is not permanent, it is usually described in very unpleasant terms.
What you need
To play this game you need an interpreter. I personally recommend Lectrote (by Andrew Plotkin), which is available for Windows, Mac and Unix.
If you want to play on your mobile phone, you can find suitable apps here.
