About :

Captain Blood (L'Aventure de Captain Blood) is a groundbreaking science fiction adventure game released in 1988. Players assume the role of Captain Blood, a game designer accidentally cloned into 30 versions of himself after a warp tunnel malfunction. Now, as the original Blood, you must pilot your ship, the Ark, through a vast, procedurally generated galaxy to find and absorb your 30 clones before the anti-matter in your ship's core kills you.

The core gameplay revolves around interstellar navigation and communication. Using the unique OMNI interface, players warp to planetary systems and land on worlds inhabited by five distinct alien races (the Yuk, Ondine, Izwal, Passager, and Tunsi). Interaction is managed through a revolutionary pictorial language system, where players must interpret alien expressions and combine icons to form sentences, gathering vital clues about the locations of the remaining clones. This focus on language and exploration makes Captain Blood a truly unique and cerebral experience.

Features :

  1. Vast, procedurally generated galaxy for endless exploration.
  2. Innovative pictorial language system (OMNI) for alien communication.
  3. Dynamic interaction with five unique and fully animated alien species.
  4. Early use of fractal technology to generate unique planetary surfaces.
  5. A race against time to capture 30 clones before your life force expires.
  6. Pioneering sound design and music utilizing advanced technology for its time.
