Saturn's Child Walkthroughs folder readme.txt July 15, 2014 I. Folder Contents *** SPOILER ALERT *** Stop here if you don't want the plot revealed yet. The Walkthroughs folder contains 2 text files with walkthrough instructions for the Saturn's Child game. The story is the same whether you play as male or female, but there are some key differences in implementation. /********* Spoiler Alert **************************************************/ Reading any further in this file will reveal plot spoilers. ****************************************************************************/ There are two members of the deep space exploration team being sent to Saturn---one male, the other female. You can choose which one you want the player character to be, during a gender selections scene at the beginning of the game. When the female astronaut emerges from her hibernation chamber at the end of the two+ years journey to Saturn, she is pregnant, nearly full term (how can that be? two years hibernation, nine months pregnant? Ah, that's part of the game. :) She will deliver the baby before the Titan moon landing, and the male character will go down to Titan alone. Then, when they go on to Enceladus, there will be a shipboard emergency during which the male astronaut will be injured and unable to go down to the surface of Enceladus. So, the male character---whether he is the player character or the other astronaut, goes to Titan, the female character goes to Enceladus. Gameplay activities are the same on both moons, so regardless of which gender you play, you will go through the same experiences, just in different places, and with somewhat different perspectives. You also might try playing the game after selecting neither or both as gender in the preliminary, test chamber scene. (Tip: This will result in an early termination of the game, since pregnancy is a key element in the plot.)
