Iron Gaia - Where Angels Fear To Tread by Legion aka Max McGee


As the amnesiac test subject designated Number 898462138069001 (as you later learn, structural engineer Armand Carter) you awaken aboard the enigmatic Iron Gaia mobile space station, your memories shattered.
As the only human awake on board the rapidly decaying station, controlled by an insane artificial intelligence with delusions of deification, is up to you to unravel the mystery of your own identity, and to answer the crucial question: what is the Iron Gaia?

Iron Gaia is an epic sci-fi rpg adventure set on a giant space station controlled by an insane AI. The game includes minigames, puzzles and many battles in a sort of futuristic megadungeon. Graphics aren't the best part of the game that instead offers interesting characters, a gritty adventure and the possibility to choose the difficulty, normal o hard. There are three possible endings to the story.
 
 
 
 
Random Fact: Iron Gaia was inspired by The Systems Malfunction universe is a sci-fi/fantasy setting created by Devon Oratz detailing the galactic civilization that emerged from the ruins of Iron Gaia after it crash-landed on Earth. Besides Iron Gaia and Iron Gaia: Virus that serves as prequels to the setting, a dozen of short stories,  a Live-Action roleplay and a tabletop rpg were based on it.
 

Final Verdict: Iron Gaia can be descrived as an epic adventure inside a futuristic dungeon. Visually it's not impressive, but the sense of dread, loneliness and isolation was really unique. It has its charm and a great atmosphere, despite the not-so-pretty visuals I had fun especially in the beginning, where it becomes more similar to a survival horror than to an rpg.
