Play through the science fiction of George Alec Effinger's "When Gravity Fails" series; chip personalities and skills into your brain, take drugs and beat up thugs as you try to solve a murder mystery in the Middle East-meets-New Orleans "Budayeen." Many unusual characters populate this game and there is some adult content - hookers, drugs and sex changes, albeit in chunky EGA. The interface is similar to Crescent Hawk's Inception, and particularly Mines of Titan - all made by Westwood in the late '80s.

Trivia

The game is based on the books "When Gravity Fails" "Fire in the Sun" and "Exile Kiss" by George Alec Effinger. The hero, Marid Audran, is the same between the game and the books, and many of the assisting cast are the same as well.
