Early Yahtzee that's showing it's age. Fun, but very rough around the edges. Game uses dos-based engine. Compatibility issues may arise on newer systems. Recommend use of VDMSound, available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/, or similar.

Andail: The last game in the Rob Blanc series (and according to the concluding text also the very last game by Yahtzee; a statement proved wrong as Odysseus Kent was released in late 2002), an…d perhaps the best in the trilogy. This game sometimes gives the impression of still being in the development stage, but as soon as the player begins to grasp the chronological twists that are the trademarks of this game, it will show how far you can go from the ordinary cause-and-effect puzzles and still provide a fascinating (yet incomprehensible at times) game-play.
Something sinister is going on in the universe. Strange sightings have been reported; it seems that clones of ships, people and even planets have been appearing; clones that apparently echo both the future and the past. The governments of the universe have all drawn a blank - so they pass the buck o…nto Rob Blanc. Control both him and his sidekick Paul as you get to the bottom of the problem, visit four different interstellar locations and travel to a parallel universe...

The greatest disappointment is in how the creator decided to abuse the "time" feature to justify rushing the final act. Even the descriptions and dialogue sound rushed, as if the creator just wanted to get it over with.
It's still a decent game, considering it's free, but I wouldn't play it more than once.
