The Experiment-ViTALiTY
A very unusual game which goes by a catchy name The Experiment was released by ViTALiTY. The group which is still on the war path with RELOADED was first to pre this specific title, which appeared on the shelves of videogame stores already a week ago. It’s almost impossible to specify the genre of this game, as it doesn’t really fit into any category. The Experiment has no protection at all, so you won’t have to hassle with cracking it.
Over sweeping cliffs and across scenic coastlines, this innovative shared adventure be gins in the bowels of an old, dilapidated ship grounded ashore. Mysteriously, you find yourself in the ship’s operations room faced with a highly advanced panel of controls, surveillance monitors, and a wide array of sophisticated technology. As you watch the monitors for other signs of life, you discover a woman. Unable to find a way to communicate with her directly, you realize that you are her only hope. She needs your help.
The problem is, you too are being held prisoner by an unseen captor. Soon you come to realize that the only way to escape is to help one another. But… who are you? Who is she? Why do you control both your fates? Is escape from this floating prison your only goal, or is there a more cryptic scheme?
Game features:
- Unlock a powerful story revealed through vivid flashbacks and shocking plot twists

Actually this game is also an experiment.
Rapidshare?

Crapy company crapy game
Visuals are crap
At Least the Chick looks Hot =P
eitanois,
That’s how they’re trying to get teenage boys to buy the game. The high cut on that one-piece she’s wearing makes their intentions obvious. Can anyone tell us, is it worth it? Are there shower scenes etc?
@11 lol you perv

cheers
Thanks a lot tbd…
I had the same prob as Tony… This game looks interesting, worth a look or two…
Got a nOOb question. These files arn’t .zip or .rar. How do you unpack them? What program do you use? Thanx!
Megashare anyone?
@18:
It’s rar. Select the first file (.001), right click it and choose “Open with…”. Select WinRar (or any of your choice) and unpack!
@17 thx zen much appreciated
very nice game. great adventure
IN ENG, FR, SPA, DEU, ITA ?
thx
Interesting game, but why do they still insist on making games on multiple cds, since dvds are so cheap now anyway?
This game is awesome
i liked the demo very much! I’ve been waiting for something new for so long… and here it is 
i got stuck a couple of times.. she just stands in a certain point and does not move anywhere anymore…
and i don’t know if it’s because of a bug or not, but i cannot get past the door with a hole in the floor, where she obsessively asks me to turn on the lights but then just gets stuck…
anyone knows a forum or something to discuss bugs or puzzle solutions?
Is that Natalie Portman on the box?
Anyone else think the girl looks like Olivia from Law and Order SVU?
Nice Game
But the cutscenes is lagging big time
anyone else got that problem?
i cant run the game.. i mount it with ultraiso and when then i press setup and i get the following message:
F:\setup.exe
C:\programa 1\symantec\s32evnt1.dll. an installable virtual device failed DLL initialisation.
what do i do???
i even tried to extract the image with open iso and i still get the same message.
@31
Not sure is Norton is blocking it or not. You could try Deamon Tools to mount the .iso, it’s a very good program [i think most posters here will agree ;-)]
You could also try disabling Norton when you mount the .iso. I’m *allergic* to Norton, so I’m not really up to date with the latest features that it has, but it could be scanning all your accessed files and believe that the .DLL file is dangerous
You need more games posters, Penumbra Black Plague is fAcking out !!! Tsk tsk.
@31 again…
I’m pretty sure that you’ve read this a couple of times here on Release Log, but “Google is your friend” !!
I entered your error message in Google and looked what popped up as 4th result:
http://www.peeniewallie.com/2007/05/s32evnt1dll_ins.html
Please Google first next time

@33
but i have no norton installed.. all i have is zero alarm and kaspersky and both are off.
This game looks very interesting. Can anyone thats played it give it a quick rating out of 10? Im just curious if its worth the disk space. i really need to buy another hd
@33
i went to the registry and deleted that file.. but now it tells me
system\currentcontrolset\control\virtualdevicedrivers. VDD. virtual device driver format in the registry is invalid.
same message whether i open it with ultraiso or iso open
@40
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q254914/
@40
If the MSDN article from #41 does not work, try to…
Install Deamon Tools, or try to reinstall ultraiso and/or open iso, they will probably recreate the correct registry entries.
ooh thank you stitch
PS the homepage URL is WRONG.

@41
quite risky doing the following..:
RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate and click the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\VDD
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete.
4. On the Edit menu, click Add Value.
5. Type VDD in the Value Name box, click REG_MULTI_SZ for the Data Type, and then click OK.
6. The Multi-String editor appears. Leave this entry blank and click OK.
7. Quit Registry Editor.
i will just install deamon tools
Haven’t played it yet, but certainly will.

I was just going to say that, took the words right out of my mouth. I can see that you are a hell of a gamer!
@25
Because ‘they’ believe that people whom play these adventure games are not serious gamers and, therefore, are probably running 10 year old rigs (without DVD drives)…lol
I kid you not.
IMO, this game looks really interesting, so I’m gonna try it.

Seems different, gonna get this one
Hardware requirements don’t seem to be true…
Especially while cutscenes I feel like having FPS from -10 or something.
So I start the game and the girl moves the camera and walks out of the room and then nothing happens. No keys on the keyboard do anything except F1 brings up a version number. Any ideas?
finally foun dout why it sometimes crashes: there are triggers (like short-circuits) that must be triggerred at specific moments… if done any earlier, the game just does not recognize that you already did it, and prompts you to hit that trigger over and over again… pretty stupid, since the french version was released moths ago… and pretty stupid since i actually got stuck for good in one of these bugs somwhere about 75% through the game…
so if anyone’s interested in my rating, it’s not gonna be more than 6/10… would have been a 9/10, but the stupid unfixed bugs killes all my fun…
Finished the game, liked the story and gameplay although she moves slowly.
PROBLEMS:
1. BUGS BUGS BUGS, constant restarting thankfully it autosaves a lot also a lot of memory leaks in the game.
2. The game has no real ending, it seems like you are finally going to get a ending and then it just throws you from the current area to cutscene in a totally different place barely explaining anything at all… This really made me pissed off…
3. The game has a very unstable framerate on my computer atleast.
Game works fine for me, gameplay is quite enjoyable; This is gone game that really should support multiple monitors.
Pity to hear the ending is inconclusive, I hope it’s more fulfilling to me; I’m finding it fun to hack the passwords
The game is GREAT!! Finally something with new concept.
nice butt
GREAT game!
but it has a bug.
When you go up to the outer deck you can not go down back to the upper deck (the first level) and I stuck outside
cant you just burn files into a cd? i also use a mac and there is a utility for doing that. if you extract the iso and then burn it, the cds/dvds might not work. this happens specially with installer cds. but then again, thats on the mac. hope this bit of info helps though.
interesting game by the way. downloading now.
thanks.
hey i intall the game but when i try to run it i just wont i have al the System requirements but it just wont work
i have a 358 mobile intel graphic media accelerator x3100
Installed fine but when I load it all I get is a black screen saying “unsupported”.
It’s a shame coz it does look like a game I’d like
Can’t seem to find the medical unit or 2poop??
Anyone out there figured this out?
Hi there , i just got 2 files after unraring them ,, 1 is .sfv and the other one which is 745 mb is unknown ! what should it be ?
i’m so excited to play this game !
@flash70
thx for the megaupload links buddy
@61
- The medical unit is on the 2nd deck. To get there, go to the outer deck, then to the front-side of the outer deck. There’s a staircase on either side, climb up (use the one that on the right side of the ship because the other way is blocked - which you’re going to unblock once you’re up there on the 2nd deck).
this is definitely a nice game. very unique.
@62
- Mount that file with Daemon Tools, then install.
Can’t start the game. A few seconds after start screen goes black and the “….exe encounter problem and must stop” error message appears. Latest drivers/codecs/updates.. installed. Tried to reistall. All the same.
Any ideas?? I’m really looking forword to play the game.
Windows Vista Ultimate x64, nvidia 8800gtx, dual core 6600, 4gb ram.
#64
where is the object/lamp i need to turn on? to get up the staircase! (Stern starboard (right) staircase?)
@67
Go to the (poop deck) stern/aft/rear port/left staircase of the ship on the outer deck, show the area map, choose 1 level up on the map (upper right corner, arrows up/down) activate the lamp on the 2nd upper deck.
@65
i have the same problem, but no error message. ive updated all my drivers and directx and nada. all my other games work fine. when i boot this up it changes screen rez to 800×600 then studers for like 2 seconds then flashes black and..!
back to desktop. like nothing happened.
i was looking forward to another descent adventure game. im off in central china and need some quality distraction =P
any help would be great. thanks
same problem as a few others, installs fine loads up but with black screen saying “mode not supported”
Have tried to edit the ini file for changing res but no joy.
any ideas anyone??
hey ..this game doesnt work on intel graphic cards ..which sucks big time…..its a matter of vertex shader …i tried to emulate and force it using 3d analyze but was a failure…
damn i was looking forward 2 play that game !!!
@69
Try changing fullscreen to false in ini file. Worked for me.
@71
Tried it but still not working. I definitely agree it could be due to the intel chipsets!
i get som error, will write it here, if sum1 could help me i’ll be pleased (looks like i want to play the game)
