Gateway II: Homeworld screenshots

Title screen

Intro. Nice view of San Francisco!..

Starting location

The first full-screen scene - there will be quite a few of those in the game

You jump and sing in front of the elevator, even though your condo is under attack. You feel somewhat... foolish

Boarding the Artifact (animated sequence)

The first part of the game takes place on The Artifact - a gigantic spaceship. I find it rather bleak and monotonous compared to the locations of the first game... but I still make the hero dance

Found a dead body in the tram

The "Earth Zoo" inside the Artifact

Playing in Map Mode

You are so happy to discover this Obelisk Room that you kiss yourself. Please... have some self-control

I'm trying some crazy stuff here... But tell me, what's the connection with Larry?!..

You try to kiss lizards in this wildlife simulation. That feels... inappropriate

Trying all sorts of actions with fearsome saber tooth tigers!

Diana Tolson (sole Artifact survivor)

I'm enjoying the view while terrorists are quoting Alice in Wonderland!..

You cruelly experiment on those tiny creatures... Come on, dude...

A full-screen scene on the icy planet. The game's second quarter begins

Exploring the monotonous icy planet. You try to laugh, but end up crying

Conversation interface

I didn't expect to find this fiery place on an ice planet!..

Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'll stop... But note how the game reacts to my insanity!.. ... ... Nice purple cave, by the way

Part 4 - you are taken to Heechee homeworld!

Exploring a Heechee spaceship. What, no cursing at all?..

Exploring Heechee planet

Exotic Heechee gardens!..

This full-screen image is not animated - text will appear soon

Hmm... the Heechee look very child-like

A nice scene: you are being greeted by a crowd of Heechee...

Somehow, the game's attempts at humor feel noticeably more artificial than in its predecessor...

Exploring the surface of the Heechee planet

Heechee scientific device

An example how events occur as time passes

Temple. You think you should pray... but it doesn't feel natural in those conditions. I wonder whether the Heechee have heard of the Bible...

Great. More of those technical puzzles...

The game's final chapter takes you back to The Artifact - in a somewhat underwhelming fashion...

Another dialogue screen - this time, you try to negotiate with the terrorist, late in the game

You contemplate suicide while terrorists are closing on you...
