Finally managed to beat the game. And to be honest, I felt like it's plot was a bit weak. Maybe I didn't get something but I still don't understand why the game was called 'Pandora'. We haven't really got a revelation about Maggie's character. What is she? Why did her eyes glow Avatar-style during an orgasm? How did it give her knowledge? Why did Kean just let it go after freaking out? I needed this kind of closure. I don't imagine it's going to be adressed in the future since the protagonist is going to be different. The art was amazing as always. And it's funny, Rita's model really stands out in terms of quality above the rest. I wonder why...

@BloodyMares:
Hello,

Do you remember what is the last thing staying in the pithos?
I am practically sure that we shall obtain some answers in the future. Be patient... ;)

Aside from the Pandora mythos, explained in episode one, the actual expedition ship is called "Pandora".
As for what happened to Maggie it's an unfinished story.

I thought the pilot was pretty hot as well: i'm crap with names and i'm not going to play the game again just to remind myself :).

I hope the next game features more sex scenes with the other girls. I find Maggie the least attractive of all [img]images/icones/icon11.gif[/img] .

@treeowl: Interesting you registered basically to write this and offer no other critique. For what it's worth, opinions about Maggie are very polarized. A lot of people (yourself included) think she's the least attractive woman on board, but many others say she's cute, or even the most beautiful one on the ship.
However, I don't think anyone will claim that Kean is in any way attractive.
But Maggie and Kean is the only pairing that's believable. Kean with literally anybody else makes no sense whatsoever.
But the game has very good screenplay and is very engaging. If you want visual novels, there's not much better you can find. If you're looking for porn, I think you're on the wrong site.

@BloodyMares:
Pandora is just the first installment in what's planned to be a longer series. The next game is going to have a different protagonist and a different viewpoint is expected to clear up a lot.
About Maggie's reaction (the eyes):
We don't know what's up with Maggie and whether it's her, or if it's just the proximity to Atlantis that does this to her. For all we know, every woman reaching orgasm during intercourse on that ship might have the same reaction.

About the title:
I'd like to point out that the Greek mythology in the game is solid (the story about Pandora) and I imagine it's going to tie in nicely later along. If you don't know the story, you should have paid more attention because for me, it was immediately clear that Atlantis itself is Pandora's Box and the Greek goddesses epilogue was pretty much exposition on how it's going to unfold.
Maybe it's me knowing mythology too well, maybe it's the general tropes, but if Mortze plays this straight, a lot of stuff is already foreshadowed.

My bet about how the story will unfold:
My bet about the biggest plot twist is that Atlantis was not destroyed by gods, but that it was flooded and destroyed by its dwellers, probably to contain Pandora's Box, which is sealed somewhere in there. And the gods will try to influence the crew to find it and get them to reopen it.
By the way, if it's the right prediction, I sincerely hope that opening the Pandora's Box, or choosing to keep it closed is going to immediately clear all saved data for the game except for unlocked albums (if it happens in the future) to force the player to replay at least the last part to avoid just retrying for the different endings.
And also that keeping it closed only works if all crew is on board with that, which might be difficult, it just takes one person to open it after all.

Honestly not going to take a stance on the current lead or express my disappointment to that end, I will say i have great respect for the developers and think visually this one takes the lead. all this being said...

PLEASE make a series starring Rita. I mean her alone would entertain me greatly for 3-4 full games and i dont believe many people if any in this community can disagree that she has star quality and might be overshadowing the current stars of pandora.

If yall dont want too sign her over to chaotic or DSP cause she needs her own game :) please thanks

I don't think those two actually having sex is in character for either of them (whereas I think the dream sequence is completely in character for Kean). All that said, if people feel strongly about this and Mortze would like for me to change it, I'd be happy to change the few sentences after the scene happens to make it have really happened and Rita admonishes Kean to not tell anyone. Mortze, it's up to you.

I understand the frustration on some peoples part although it would invalidate the story and less to the quality we have come to expect from you guys.....
that being said i believe the reason some are upset is because you guys created a star who i believe people are frustrated mostly due to the lack of scenes with ms. rita..
So would you and Mortze consider a Rita series or at least one game outside of the pandora story focused on another plot or just solely about her.


P.S.
Thank you guys for your dedication and wonderful stories, your brilliant!

Well the next episode of this "game series" will be focused on Farik so we know that the chance to have some sex scenes with Rita is beyond that high.

I would also like to see intimates scenes with Mrs Lindberg and Kaori in the future as well ^^.

And in my opinion this is one of the main reason it's make that game pretty special compared to the others than Mortze & tlaero made, the various personnality.
Kean for example is quite the opposite of every other main character of the others games just for take him and this is made the sex scene à little bit more exciting to expect and watch in my opinion.

Hope you guys could give us some news as soon as possible for the release of the part II but no pressure [img]images/icones/icon15.gif[/img]

I assume they're going to finish working on CtgwC and Darkness Falls before Pandora gets its turn.

To get this thing warmed up again:

Two weeks ago Mortze and Tlaero announced the next installment of the "Pandora"-series.
I'm really looking forward to this. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. Is summer a realistic goal for a release?
Will it be a direct sequel to Pandora I+II featuring all the characters (including Kean) from the first two games? Or will it be a prequel (as Farik said: He an Rita have some history)?
And I have one request: Please, if technically possible, make a full screen-option for Pandora III. It gets annoying to alway scroll up and down when you have the images set on the largest size. Maybe it would be better if the text overlaps the pictures?

That's great news! I enjoyed this game more than their other games. That is in no way a slight on the other games... I just really like Pandora!
