Ahhh, one I don't own and have never played. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head but it got very bad reviews. I'm sure I'll pick it up off ebay eventually to give it a shot.

Good luck picking it up off ebay if you can't remember the name.

It's Zero Critical.

(I've never played it, but it's appeared several times in the game scene thread; I tend to remember it as "that game with Lego characters")

Anyone care to tell us more about it?

(AGs* didn't like it)

* actually, it was "AG" back then

Well, it may have taken digging through ~60 pages in the Adventure Game Scene Game thread but I found the name.

Zero Critical

"The last game to date by Istvan Pely, Zero Critical is definitely the best game out of all three games he designed (the other two being Majestic and Syn-Factor). Which is to say: it has an excellent sci-fi storyline and characters, but is unfortunately far too short and has puzzles that are far too easy. Farah Houston of the Games Domain says it all in her review:
"You are Chatt Rhuller, an agent of the Interstellar Transportation Commission (ITC). Even though you are a new recruit, you are sent to a planet called Rheom 1 to investigate a murder. There, in a research facility for a top-secret project, a scientist went mad and attacked the chief scientist, Dr. Victoria Fayn. She shot and killed him, claiming self-defense. You are sent to investigate because this is not the first time that someone has gone insane on that planet, although it is the first time that anyone has been violent. Some speculate that it is the constant daylight that drives people insane, but it seems that something more is going on. "
