As punishment for damaging Company property, he is sent to the dreaded prison Cygnus Alpha. At the beginning of his game, Feeble crashes his spaceship during a routine visit to Earth. The slightest infringement of the laws, or directives – such as being unhappy – are punished by ‘personality restructuring’. Disobedience is not an option, as citizens are required to take ‘nourishing’ pills daily that, in reality, cause them to become placid and apathetic. Relationships, for example, are strictly monitored and controlled – to make any kind of romantic advance, a citizen must possess a Hot Love Permit. The OmniBrain controls every minute aspect of people’s lives. Feeble lives in a highly oppressive society, where the entire galaxy is controlled by a totalitarian entity known as the OmniBrain. Set in a far-future alien comedy version of George Orwell’s 1984, the game follows the adventures of Feeble, an initially rather pathetic specimen of alienhood, who inadvertently becomes the most unlikely rebel ever. The Feeble Files, from the people who brought us the Simon the Sorcerer games, is an absolute treat for the thirsty adventure gamer: vast and sprawling, hugely ambitious, wide in scope, original, funny, poignant and touching.
