About This Game

Snail Trek - Chapter 1: Intershellar is the first in a series of "20 minute adventures" where you take on the role of a crew of snails on a journey to a new home world.

In the style of the early Sierra Online adventure games, Snail Trek has colorful EGA-ish graphics and a text parser interface. Relive the nostalgia in these bite-sized adventures - but without all the pain. Autosaves, a text parser with auto-suggest, and puzzles with no dead ends, all combine to bring this old genre into the modern era.

In Chapter 1, you arrive at the lettuce-covered (or so you hope) planet. But something is amiss. Your ship has been damaged and you may not be able to land at all! Meanwhile, your home world is dying, and your entire civilization is waiting for your report on this new planet. Is it really a lettuce-covered paradise?

You can find chapter 2 here.

Key Features

Autosaves - no need to save every few minutes (though you still can if you want).
A text parser with both auto-suggest and auto-correct - fat finger your way to puzzle glory (but you can turn them off if you want to suffer more greatly).
A text parser that understands what objects are in front of you, so you can be lazy and just type things like 'get' or 'look'.
CRT emulation mode that gives those pixels an ever-so-slightly fuzzy look.
A stereophonic score.
Cute snails.
Deaths (but hey, autosaves).
No dead ends! Puzzle your way around with impunity!
Widescreen aspect ratio, since monitors are more rectangular now.

Fun to play! Another brilliant realease from icefall games. I completed it in about 30 minutes. The textures are a bit misleading but otherwise, a fun puzzle game to solve. Can't wait for the next episode!!. Great bite of old school puzzle goodness. Can't wait to see what's in store next!. A fun, quick 20 minute adventure in the vein of the old Sierra typing games. Well worth the asking price!. Great classic-style adventure! AGI fans rejoice -- it's Space Quest 1 but not as annoying and also more gastropods.. I consider myself a pretty accomplished reader, but I don't normally mix reading and gaming. That all changed with Snail Trek - Intershellar. This game's story is quite humorous, but it doesn't come on too strong. The author also cleverly worked some puzzles in between the paragraphs to keep players on their toes. I can't wait to see what happens next for our intrepid explorers!. I never played parser games back in the day so I went in this without nostalgia goggles. Despite this, Snail Trek won me over with it's charm and how painless the parser system was. I've heard a lot of bad things about old text adventures and this game thankfully avoids them. It's short but that time is enjoyable not frustrating.. Oh my God I love this game so much! Yes it's short, but it's also priced accordingly. If you ever played a CGA adventure game you will absolutely love this!. This review is pretty much for the series as a whole, btw, not just Chapter 1.)

Snail Trek is a pretty delightful series of adventure games, reminiscent of Sierra's SCI-era games (and influenced perhaps most directly by their Space Quest series). Individually, the chapters are reasonably short -- the early ones specifically -- but they get a bit longer and more involved as they progress, and taken as a whole it's a very satisfying chunk of adventure game. I'd definitely recommend just buying the bundle.

The puzzles themselves are rarely too difficult, and the game nudges you with hints for the first bits. Later puzzles can definitely stump you for awhile, though, and some of the solutions are rather clever. The game invites you to experience as many deaths as possible, something that was always a favorite pasttime in Sierra games, and its autosave system prevents you from even having to do the standard Sierra save-every-minute technique, which is a welcome feature.

The Linux ports of these work quite well (barring one weird Unity bug related to keyboard input at the moment - if you want to "move fast/sprint" ingame, you'll have to rebind that key to something like Insert), and the developer is quick to provide assistance, so extra bonus points for that! Folks who enjoy the CRT emulation should appreciate it, and that option is toggleable for those of us who prefer crisp graphics.

All in all, if you're a fan of this sort of game, the bundle with all four chapters will be well worth your time!. What a fun light-hearted game (even the death scenes)!. Very enjoyable start to a classic style point and click.. except it's not.. you don't even need to use the mouse at all.

Instead using the arrow keys to move your snail around, you type your commands into the pop-up text box and it works really well with auto-correct and suggested words as you type. It was also quite generous early on with hints and tips, which is (I'm assuming) only for the first chapter, because the chapter itself is quite short.

The logic works for the most part, except I got my first accidental death because it was oddly specific about what to do with one particular item and it was clear what I wanted to do, but none of the text I typed put the frigan watering can in the place I knew it needed to go.

Played through in about half an hour - which was just enough to really get into it and look into the second chapter. It has the beginnings of some cute humour, though I feel deeply bad for the ship's captain and what I did to her :/

I finished it with one point off the maximum attainable which I was quite happy about, but annoyed because I'm pretty sure that final point was something that I did before an accidental space-walk death and then didn't bother to do again because movement was quite slow and I just wanted to progress. Ah well.. I'll play through it again at some point for the anal achievement need.

Check it out if you like old style adventure games (Hugo's House of Horror's just popped into my head for some reason.. probably because of the similar controls/typing interface).

Also, the four chapters are now a part of a "complete the set" bundle (not available in some countries) for an additional 25% discount.. Patch released for Snail Trek Chapter 1:
I've released an update that fixes three bugs:
- crash when trying to save if all save slots are filled
- game-breaking bug if you try to open a pod while another snail is still emerging and doing its thing
- small memory leak that probably no one will notice

Note that your save games may lose just a bit of progress with this update, as I fallback to a simpler but more robust format that keeps its integrity across code changes.
