Earthling Priorities, much like the Space Quest games of long ago, involves a job, and silly things happening around that job. Maybe your employment isn’t as goofy or glamorous as being a space janitor, but you still have to go to work – but maybe while you’re there, you’ll still have a fun puzzle to solve. Maybe stemming from a talking door. Why do we have talking doors here, anyway?
Disclosure – Konstantinos Dimopoulos, a previous writer for this site, worked on Earthling Priorities.
Earthling Priorities doesn’t set out to take up much of your time, offering a quick adventure jaunt through a silly storyline. Its developers are awfully cagey about what it’s all about, save that it involves employment, a slightly pessimistic take on our future, and some things that will either make its players think or laugh. And a puzzle, because it’s never an adventure without at least one puzzle.
If you’re in the mood for a quick jaunt that will make you laugh, then maybe choke off that laugh due to a grim realization about the world of tomorrow, it’s worth your time. Just try not to mind the talking door. Or the dread for the future. But mostly the door.
Earthling Priorities is available for free on Itch.io, GameJolt, and the Adventure Game Studio site. For more information on the game and its developers, you can follow Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Daniele Giardini, Jim Spanos, and Chris Christodoulou on Twitter.
