Invention, Travel, and Adventure

West End Hotel room 306. A duralumin suitcase exchanged for your own. A mystery man who calls himself Slowslop and instructs you to "establish contact with a scientist named Horselover." You're handed a photo showing Horselover with his six research associates. On a speeding train, at stations along the way, at the Museum of Science-- everywhere you go one of the scientists is there to pass on some tidbit of information. Then the unexepected truth is revealed...

Gadget is an exploration game that invites you to explore environments, collect gadgets, and solve a mystery.

The 3-D rendered scenery is visually stimulating and its intuitive, minimal interface is a fresh change from computer applications cluttered by rows of cryptic icons and endless menu choices.
