Abducted: Episode 1 is the first entry in a six-part, episodic sci-fi adventure that combines puzzle, horror, and RPG elements. This genre sampler is a mixed bag both literally and in terms of quality: while it presents a mysterious and beautiful world to explore, actually doing so is a slow process. Episode 1 lays the groundwork for a sprawling adventure across unexplored--and unsettling--reaches of space, but with less than compelling gameplay that often fails to encourage making the journey.

Players take on the role of Eve, an amnesiac who wakes up on an alien ship with no memory of how she got there or anything about her past. Eve's only clue to her current status is a computer built into her arm that claims to have been with her "since the beginning" and is able to answer questions about their life together. Although the arm computer is also unaware of how or why you've ended up on this particular ship, it is able to fill in some of Eve's blanks--like the fact that she is an explorer that catalogues alien life forms--and help her investigate her surroundings. It will mostly provide information on objects from its extensive database, but the computer also allows Eve to hack into terminals throughout the ship that give her access to new areas and a potential escape.
