First Person

"Aura really is one of the most remarkable games I’ve seen in quite some time. The environments are gorgeous, very accessible, yet alien enough to make you believe you’re in another dimension. The opening gate of the Age of Na Tiexu reminds me of Obsidian. The landscape is gritty, pockmarked with natural deformations adding to the organic feel that I’m sure the artists at Streko were trying hard to achieve.

"Aura has scores of FMV, and most of it is quite gorgeous...The sound effects are extremely enjoyable...The puzzles throughout run the gamut, from inventory, to logic, to symbolist, to ritualistic.

"If you ever wished that the creators of Jewels of the Oracle, Obsidian, Myst, and about a hundred other game designers had gotten together and created a game, Aura would have been the product."
