A meteorite falls to Earth, stopping our planet's cycle of rotation
and causing thermal disaster around the globe. Lack of the Sun's
warmth has caused half of our planet to plunge into a deep, dark
freeze, while the other half is literally being fried by the Sun's
heat and constant light. Only you can "Save the world with Science!"
You explore the three-dimensional scenery in first person perspective
in a manner similar to [Myst][1]. There are houses and buildings to
investigate, items to find and use while the story unfolds. The game
will challenge your common sense and intelligence as you seek out the
answers to many puzzles. Work with the sciences of electricity, heat,
mechanics, optics and acoustics as you play, researching in documents
and the in-game knowledge base (MobyGames).
