  • This game is primarily an intellectual puzzle game, similar to Myst and other such games. The designers appear to have made a conscious effort to make the game feel like an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, complete with the opening credits mimicking those of the series, including the traveling comet with its tail of ice crystals.
