The character animation is on par with NMA's parody news videos: Characters are stiff, blocky 3D renders, and their lips move in opposition of whatever they say.

Moebius feels cheap on multiple levels, including its uninspired relationships. Given the involvement of adventure game guru Jane Jensen, I expected Moebius to have sophisticated characters uncovering a mystery complete with adventure, thrills and, most of all, surprises.Īs it turns out, I've read better fanfiction. Moebius plays out like bad fanfiction – the action sequences are dramatized to the point of absurdity, the characters are caricatures rather than believable human beings, and the story is predictable. Hudson is Gretchen Stern, Rector's long-suffering assistant. John Watson is filled in by David Walker, an ex-military man who puts up with Rector's snark in order to protect him and Mrs. The Holmes role is played by Malachi Rector, a highly intelligent antiques dealer-turned-investigator who makes it clear he doesn't want anyone to care about him Dr.

It's fitting that the story itself plays like a knock-off of previously written characters and storylines – most notably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series.

Moebius: Empire Rising is a game about history repeating itself, asking the player to investigate a string of people whose lives mirror those of famous, important figures throughout history.
