The gameplay hasn’t changed much since Episode 1 either. It’s easily one of the nicest-looking games on the Windows Store, whether you’re exploring the environments or watching a cutscene (which seem to be more frequent this time around). You play as Jane Sinclair, an adventurer who becomes stranded and gets caught up in a strange – and sometimes magical – mystery. The story isn’t particularly exciting, but it’s interesting enough that you’ll want to find out just what is going on in this strange world. The music is excellent as well. Should you pick it up? Read on for our full review.Īdera’s graphical quality is noticeable right off the bat. In addition to continuing the story, Episode 3 changes things up a bit by adding three new difficulty settings and dropping the allotted achievements to 100 Gamerscore, rather than the 200 GS that Episode 1: The Shifting Sands and Episode 2: The Shadow Path offered. While the first episode is available for free, the second and third installments each cost $3.99.

This point-and-click adventure game (like the classic Myst) is one of my favorites on Microsoft’s new OS, and it’s an exclusive to boot. Using nothing but her wits and a strange stone orb to guide her, Jane sets out to find her grandfather before it’s too late.After a longer-than-expected wait, Adera Episode 3: Escape Into Light is finally available on Windows 8 and Windows RT.

This episodic story begins when Jane receives a desperate message from her long-missing grandfather. Help Jane solve exciting puzzles, collect hidden artifacts, and explore the environments to unlock the secrets of this new-found civilization. World class adventurer Jane Sinclaire will face her greatest challenge yet in the mysterious city of Adera.
