Our take on Vacant
The game places a point-and-click investigation in an alien setting, using an asymmetrical camera view and a government-agency case instead of a conventional earthly detective backdrop. Its central structure follows a search for three presumed-dead people and the person responsible.
What is Vacant?
Vacant follows Jade Bridgett, a new intern at the mysterious government agency The Eye.
On her first day, she receives a case involving three missing people presumed dead. The investigation involves finding them and identifying the culprit. This point-and-click science-fiction adventure takes place on an alien world with explorable environments and characters to meet. The game uses colorful graphics and an asymmetrical camera view.
