Description: The planet Kaylard lacked energy. In Xingyuan 528, the first star collection team was sent to various planets in space to collect star sources, but the collection team disappeared three years later and could no longer be contacted. It was not until 538 that the second collection team was finally dispatched. The second collection team was attacked by UFOs in space. This time the captain, Vilian, was hit in the brain by an object when the spacecraft was attacked. After waking up I forgot my previous memories, I only remembered my name as Vilian, and a pair of eyes and a looming name-“Hain” often appeared in my mind.

Review: ‘Manipulator I:The Hand Behind’ is a pretty basic sci-fi experience in which you will be solving the mystery of the lost crew and the odd puzzle alone the day. While all in Chinese you can get the gist of what is going on and none of the puzzles are hard at all. I can deal with the sparse graphics and all the text in Chinese, but what I can’t deal with is the major lack of content and indeed quality given the crazy £19.49 price tag! There is no way this game is worth even a quarter of that price and until it gets a 90% price drop it is not something I Will be recommending any time soon.
