The Shortgrey

English name, French game.

You are an alien that can enter into humans, sent to Earth in a mission to invade it.

The intro is made by the Swiss demo group Alcatraz, which looks cool.

However the game... well, it was clearly inspired by Operation Stealth and similar point & click adventures, however this one is much more frustrating. You can't interact with many people or things, and the dialogues are short and useless. Things you should do often don't make any sense (like using a food coupon with a specific door in a location that have many doors). There are two big labirynths near the beginning and near the end of the game, which are so annoying. Also unnecessary violence, like choping a sick guy's head off with a chainsaw or setting off a bomb in a bank, killing all the people inside for no good reason.

Interesting thing about this game is that it came on 5 disks, all of them infected with viruses "Saddam" and "Ebola". The disks the game was on were infected before the game went into print.
