The Abandoned Planet, a new game from solo indie developer Jeremy Fryc (Dexter Team Games), has just launched globally. It offers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of classic video games, a feeling we'll explore further below. But first, let's delve into the story.
The Story
You are an astronaut flung through a wormhole and crash-landed on a bizarre, atmospheric planet, eerily devoid of inhabitants. Your mission: uncover the fate of the missing population, unravel the mysteries of this alien landscape, and, of course, find your way back home.
Exploration is at the heart of The Abandoned Planet. Hundreds of unique locations await discovery on this deserted world. The first-person point-and-click gameplay focuses on puzzle-solving, uncovering hidden secrets, and piecing together a larger narrative.
The game features a fully voice-acted English script, bringing the characters to life. Fryc's work shows a clear continuity, with this title apparently connected to his previous creation, Dexter Stardust.
The Abandoned Planet's narrative is captivating, expertly blending suspense and challenging puzzles. Intrigued? Watch the trailer below!

The game draws inspiration from beloved classics like Myst and Riven, capturing the old-school charm of 90s LucasArts adventures. Its 2D pixel art style delivers a retro aesthetic that's undeniably appealing.
