As has been noted by everyone else, the three Adam Venture games which was at one time sold individually have been grouped together to produce one long game named Adam Venture Chronicles (2015) created by a Dutch company which can be found here http://vertigo-games.com/company/

It claims to be an online adventure similar to Allan Quatermaine and Indiana Jones and it does have that type of feel about it all. It was also created to be suitable for Christians and young children as it contains little to no violence or bloodshed in the entire adventure series. However let’s still look at each individually.

Chapter 1: The Search for the Lost Garden (2009 released)

The graphics in this particular instalment are quite cheesy. Granted the backdrops are often vibrant with countless eye catching sparkle and glimmering spectres everywhere your main character travels. Seriously diamonds, crystals and glitter fill the caverns like as if some sort of Mardigras parade had been through the whole cave system moments before you got there. Yet it still never takes the focus off the question why your character Adam Venture is wearing MC hammers pants? Couple this with the fact that when the game starts there is a lizard which seems to do a river dance in suspended air for some reason and you’re really waiting for the moment when the bass kicks in and that immortalised sentence ‘you can’t touch this’ and everyone starts to doing the signature hammer dance. Alas it never happens. But the game is so corny it could have and it would have gotten away with it. Trust me.

This part of the game will take you about 2 hrs - 4 hrs if you want all achievements. With the exception of the first puzzle, the rest aren’t that difficult. Half the puzzles are simply scripture columns which have been broken up into three parts and need to be placed in the correct order. However other puzzles and their requirements are more obscure when you first come across them and like me you’ll probably just start randomly clicking as you know there is a limited amount of combinations it could be.

Story is that you have discovered the location of the Garden of Eden. The big problem is, that many game developers who choose to do a religious themed game, because let’s face it, the target audience is huge, often these people have no idea what so ever, what they are in fact talking about and often just make a fool of themselves and their product to those that do.

Are you ready for this? The Garden of Eden is still around and so is the snake! In fact it wasn't really a snake to begin with, but more the smoke monster from the TV series 'Lost' and apparently the smoke monster was doing God's work all along and stopping people from getting to the 'Tree of Life' ?.... Completely lost me there... (Actually Gen 3:24 says that God posted a number of Cherubs and a flaming sword to protect the trees, not a smoke monster.)

But the biggest downer for me personally is that you never get there. You never do see the Garden of Eden. Which is a complete bummer. This disappointment could have been rectified if the bass kicked in at this moment and the snake started singing ‘you can’t touch this’ and all the archaeologists dropped their differences and started doing the running man dance as the caves came down. Golden opportunity lost forever…

Chapter 2: Solomon’s Secret (2011)

In this instalment (which will take you about 5 hrs) the developers seem to have zero care for actual history and take just as many liberties as the Startrek franchise does with science.

For those that don't know, King Solomon was a real king. In fact not only the richest king at the time, but is still the richest man who has even ever lived. In today's terms he was earning somewhere around 250 million a year. Just imagine all the Steam games you could get with that!

Anyway there has always been thoughts that there might be some hidden riches waiting to be unearthed in a hidden temple somewhere and here is what the games main story premise plays on. An evil corporation is digging up the temple mount. Oh dearie me who will save us all from dire calamity. Steps up to the plate Mr MC Hammer Pants/ Adam Venture.

This particular chapter of the game surprised me for two reasons.

1) I did not think this was possible, but they somehow have worked out how to make every back drop even more vibrant and blinding than the first episode. Seriously you nearly have to wear sunscreen just to play certain scenes outside.

2) The developers who must have learnt there history from a pop-up book, somehow made a even bigger blunder than the previous episode. Are you ready for this one???

King Solomon spends vast millions upon millions creating booby traps and puzzles that will do your head in, to hide not treasure, but to hide his writings. Because apparently to Solomon his wisdom was greater than his treasures. Whats wrong with this premise? Have you ever heard of the book of Ecclesiastes? No booby traps needed to read that book. Jeez.

Chapter 3: Revelations (2012)

First, this instalment has nothing to do with the book of Revelations in the Bible. Instead the title is in regards to the character discovery that a gamer will get to experience as he plays what begins as a prequel. The title also further hints to a secret agenda the evil Clairvaux Corporation has which gets revealed at the end of the game.

After the first two instalments of this game I was kind of expecting that I would go blind with this one by all the bright colours that would be radiating from my screens monitor. Kind of disappointed they toned it down a little and I won’t need that expensive eye laser surgery after all.

I also expected them to make a bigger blunder in this episode than what they made in the previous two. Something absurd like the four horsemen of the apocalypse would turn out to be a merry go round at Chernobyl or something like that, but as stated before this has nothing to do with the book of Revelation and what information they do subject us with is at least plausible.

It seems that those at Vertigo have improved over the years, and time and time again have reacted to feed back by looking at how they can make things better. I agree with a friend of mine and will be forever interested where they will send us next. Noah’s Ark? The disappearance of the Assyrian Army? The graves of the Nephilim? I’ll have to wait and see.

A final comment I would like to make is that I personally had some issues with one of the instalments thanks to a graphics card issue, but those at Vertigo were very quick and efficient is sorting out the issue. In an ever growing market where technical support is nearly extinct, I find that good customer service is just as golden to me as any game with top notch graphics and sound. Vertigo= Great customer service and for that I applaud you the most.

This was my #100th review Thanks for reading.

This is the first game in my library I'm not recommending. The controls are really irritating and part way through the game I could not get through a door fast enough so I was stuck there for hours. Finnally just gave up and deleted the game.

I couldn't afford Uncharted 4 so I bought this.

I didn`t like this game because of the lame dialogue, dry humorless humor, and the strange glitchy mechanics. I found it boring and was also very disappointed with the creators for repeating the same exact puzzle, setting, and sequence three times in a row. Adam (the male protagonist) rides a mining car down a tunnel, enters a cavern, completes a giant maze, and solves a pzzle when he has to deactive a bomb three times in a row with no variations to the room or setting in anyway. Sure the way through the maze and solution to the bomb puzzle are different but it is the idetical maze and room. This was a lazy move made by the creators. Adam's constant belitteling of Evelyn (female protagonist) was incredibly anti-feminist, humorless, and made it even more painful to listen to the poorly written dialogue (there were instances where Everlyn repeated dialogue from past scenes).

This is the first game in my library I'm not recommending. The controls are really irritating and the only reason it shows as hours more gameplay than I've actually done is because you can't save and exit. So I had to leave the game running a few times, I'm an acheivement hunter so though I still intend to finish, I would never recommend this to anyone.

It's rare you find a game series that honors God and has decent graphics to boot! Lots of puzzles that require logic, mathematics, and deductive reasoning. Hard to find because many companies feel that gratuitous violence, filth, and sexual innuendo is the only way to make a buck.

What is even better? The company will soon be releasing another installment called Adam Venture: Origins- YAY!

This is a bit like the old Tomb Raider, with less action and better puzzles. The puzzles themselves, for the most part, are quite easy once you understand what you have to do. That said, the ones in the last chapter, took me much longer and I didn't enjoy it as much.

Last Review of 2015. CARE SPOILERS! I replayed this game (last year november i did the 3 chapters 1 by 1). This game is still for the budget fascinating, the story (Eden, Adam and Eve(lyn APPLEby, a dark shadow that waits for the wrong turn/ choice like a snake and Salomon temple, family tree and biggest treature (SPOILER! WISDOM? BOOK!) is unique, the graphics for a small studio is good and detailed. The places are fine, the puzzles are well balanced and the end shows what is important. I still hope for a second part maybe find Noahs Ship or the Ark of the Covenant with the Decalogue? I would find it great. Sound is okay. So decide wisely to buy or not and when yes how much. Dont get disappointed because you dont like the genre or dont understand the story backround good enough. Simple games like this makes my childhood so great. No super graphic but flair of mysterious. Sure could be more and the price is to high for the game but developer invest many time, money and skills to get it. So i thanks all developers in the world for a great time all time i played. I give this INDIE title 90 % for me, but the game has weakpoints like the jumping system and others. Watch trailer, lets play and think 2 times before you buy it, then its your fault no one else. Thank you for reading.

Adam's venture is a good game for those who want are curious about the Bible, this game isn't too bad in gameplay and most of the puzzles aren't too difficult. This game isn't worth the full price though, it's better if you wait for a sale as this game is pretty short, you could probably just finish it in a single sitting if you tried hard enough.

Also if you don't care about the Bible, and only care about achievements, this is probably the easiest(and probably fastest) 45 achievements you can get on Steam. A majority of them are story related and the rest is for interactng with random stuff enough times.

80% religious propaganda, 20% achievement hunter bait. 100% unorigional.
