Welcome to the Community Playthrough of Joshua Nuernberge/Wadjet Eye’s excellent noir sci-fi classic Gemini Rue.

At the start of this game, after a glipse into the predicament of Delta Six, you are cast in the shoes of a world weary detective with a troubled past.

and

Welcome to Barracus, where profits are made through mining and other forms of crime. You’d rather not be soaking in the unrelenting rain and atmosphere of urban decay, but there’s a lead you have to chase.

At some point during the first section of our CPT, you will find yourself in the body of Delta Six. Side effects are: memory loss, feelings of anxiety and alienation.

This is normal. Do not overextend yourself resisting the inevitable. We have quite a journey ahead of us.

This section of the game will end once you read a mysterious note and fall asleep. We should probably manage to get there in about a week. At this point, you’ve played as both characters. The next section will have you seeing the world from Azriel’s perspective again. This new section will start on Thursday the 12th.

we are in debt man, for your carrying on efforts to these forums.

It’s installed, and ready when we all..

Welcome aboard, Advie! Curious to read what you think of the game this time around.

My game is installed.  This will be my first time playing it.

Gemini Rue installed and ready.

i would worry about the combat at all, even the last one at the end of the game is very *intense*, is doable.
i suck all my life at action games, plus never liked them in the first place, I ve been able to finish this game 3 times, but yeah the last part you might need to restore/replay it more like a handful of times, but it is doable!

but Nico shouldn’t you wait?

Wow, we have nice CPT team already! An not just any random crowd. Welcome Doom, Lady Kestrel, Nico2021 and chrissie!

Is there a disc version of this game? That is pretty cool.

I checked out the settings in the menu and set the combat to easy this time.

@nico2021: glad you like the game! This section isn’t very long, if you put some time into it. You’re near the end of this section (you’ll recognize it when you’re there). Let us know what you like about the game, or if you’ve figured out the trick for these action sequences.

i didnt recognize we started, but read the post again, and yeah, but I am confused as I dont remember this part being more than an hour of gameplaying, anyways I will start soon and see for myself

Nico took the ball and ran with it!

I watched a CPT to get a sense of pace and a way to divide the story into sections. I didn’t remember this game being quite this long. This section introduces timed events, if anyone has trouble with these, maybe we can figure something out together to help.

no no, i remember now, they’re a lot of dialogue and also weapon practice which can expand this part to more than an hour easily, its been a while since my last replay

I’m running the game on Steam, pretty smooth.

The visual art is quite unique I think. It both pushes abstraction in general and particular detail in animations and reflections in the environment. It’s sombre, but alive.

I like the sound as well. Azriel is appropriately gruff and those synths in the rain really deliver on the atmosphere.
