Magneto Syndrome is a point-and-click room escape game created by Juliano Reina. The main character has been infused with the power to control metallic objects. He regains consciousness and his first thought is to escape. It's going to prove a little difficult, seeing as how he's stuck inside a water-filled tube. Using his powers of magnetic manipulation, it's your job to help him make his run for freedom.
Before you start clicking, move the cursor over the objects inside the lab to see what you can interact with. Some things are marked as plastic, a dead-giveaway that you won't be able to manipulate them directly. A large number of other objects you won't be able to move even though they're made of metal.
Magneto Syndrome is billed as Episode 1, so hopefully we'll get another few episodes in the story. Despite its short length, it manages to pull you in to the environment and create a complete atmosphere with only a few game elements. Initially I was just going to sample the game, but once I started I couldn't stop playing until I had completed it.
As a small warning, this game rates itself as 13+ for some language and a little violence and blood.
Also available, episode 2:
Thanks to Gabriel for sending this one in!
