Odysseus Kosmos: Point & Click - Space puzzles & quests

About the game

If you find yourself as the sole human on a spacecraft, what should you do? A few years back, a research mission was initiated, but technical issues arose, leading to concerns about a possible traitor among the crew.

Odysseus Kosmos and his robot companion Quest is a humorous pixelated space adventure inspired by the classic point-and-click games of the 1990s.

Trapped in a spaceship among the stars, waiting for fellow astronauts to join their research endeavor, our hero always finds himself in the midst of excitement.

You take on the role of Odysseus Kosmos, a laid-back yet charismatic spacecraft engineer with a penchant for coffee and cookies. He has been patiently awaiting the arrival of his coworkers at this expansive space research facility for quite some time. His sidekick is a robot named Barton Quest, who possesses a distinctive personality! With advanced AI capabilities, Barton seems to have more knowledge than he reveals... Could he possibly be an imposter?

Ensuring the massive ship remains functional, conducting research, and navigating unusual occurrences due to a nearby black hole means that our protagonist is hardly afforded a moment's peace.

Your task is to assist him in overcoming these obstacles, tackling a variety of puzzles, and reuniting with the other astronauts when they finally return, despite the challenges posed by differing time flows.

Game highlights include:

Traditional point-and-click adventure gameplay

Engaging puzzles and riddles - avoid tedious item-collection mechanics

Discover both the spaceship and outer space, beautifully rendered in retro pixel graphics

Utilize the old quantum converter, “Hat HQ,” to transform into a sea captain, Indiana Jones, or even a duck.

A five-part adventure filled with unexpected twists - the pilot episode is available for free!

Delve into numerous mind-bending scenarios and puzzles in this pixel game. Unravel the enigma of the spaceship, rescue your crew, and navigate your way back home! Experience mysterious artifacts, incredible discoveries, and heart-wrenching losses. It’s like being in a movie, with you calling the shots.

Curious about identifying the imposter among the crew? Exciting quests aboard the spaceship await you. The pixelated adventures of Odysseus Kosmos commence now!

A few notes before starting:

The game unfolds over five main episodes, with a short-ish prologue in the beginning. Do not skip the prologue, because small details in the prologue have unexpected long-term payoffs.

You only have access to three save-slots, but you can launch any episode at any time from the main menu.

It is not possible to get stuck in Odysseus Kosmos. There are no deaths and no dead-ends.

In each chapter, you will have access to some sort of item (it changes) that allows you to track your current objectives. Also, at any time, you can use the in-built hint system, and it will point you in the right direction for one of your objectives. Overall, the hint system is quite good.

This game includes a whopping 72 Steam achievements. Each episode (and the prologue) has exactly twelve achievements. The vast majority of these achievements are missable - something like 65 of them.

If you complete the game with all 72 achievements unlocked, there is additional ending content.

I have mentioned the location of each achievement in the text of the guide. There is also a spoiler-free checklist at the end of the guide.

Guide

Prologue/Pilot Episode - Open the Locker

Our goal in the pilot is simply to escape the room.

Begin by hitting the alarm clock twice, breaking it. If you interact with the door, you will discover you are locked in. Then, read the sticky note by the bed to see the objectives.

Talk to the intercom a bunch and ask for jokes - when it runs out, earn BART THE NES PUNK.

Take the MUG on the table and the SUNGLASSES CASE from the shelf. Use the hand icon on the sunglasses from the inventory to separate them out to the SUNGLASSES and a the CASE. Interact with the case again to discard it while retaining the MICROFIBER CLOTH.

Then, open the small drawer under the laptop and take the COOKIES and some COFFEE PODS. Eat the cookies, and you will get an EMPTY TIN and a REFLECTIVE LID. Further interacting with the empty tin will get you a PAPER SLIP. Examine the tin a third time for THE COOKIE PARADOX

Interact with the coffee pods in the inventory for COFFEE BREAK. Then, place the pods into the coffee machine.

When you use the machine, however, it enters a cleaning routine. Grab the mug at the right moment to get some CLEANING LIQUID.

Now, you can press the button to the right to open an access panel, but we need a keycard for the sensor. The keycard can be found in a dark room.

Place the polarized sunglasses over the light sensor, which will activate a hotspot at the head of the bed for the on/off light switch. Press it, and notice the drawer glows red.

Open the drawer and LOOK at the book before using it for the easily missable EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE. Then use the book, and it will slide over, revealing a keycard.

Using the keycard, open the small locker on the right wall and take the SCREWDRIVER. Then, use the reflective lid to put some more light into the locker, and also take the RUBBER DUCKY and TWEEZERS.

Prologue/Pilot Episode - Escape the Room

Try interacting with the terminal, and we need a password. Show the note to the intercom a few times to learn the password and earn GOT THE NUMBERS MIXED UP. Access the computer and enter 1138. Select "Activate the Nav computer".

Exit, and go to the computer on the wall. There's a small puzzle to align the planets. The vertical slider goes very close to the top, the right slider belongs close to the far right, and the left slider goes somewhere in the middle. When you have it calibrated correctly, you will automatically exit the screen.

Re-access the computer and click the gold ENTER DATA button, and then select the "activate the telescope monitor" feature. Press the button on the wall once again to drop a viewscreen, but it's dirty. Use your cloth in the cleaning fluid for a damp cloth, and then SAVE HERE.

Dieting Minigame

This starts a minigame with four possible outcomes, each with an achievement. If you are able to keep the bars for suspicion, self-respect, and hunger in balance for 20 moves, you will win, and earn FOUR ADDITIONAL POUNDS. Alternatively, you and end the game prematurely by getting suspicion to max (IN FLAGRANTE DELICTO), hunger to max (HUNGER AND LOATHING IN SAN FRANCISCO) or self-respect to zero (DO YOU RESPECT ME?). You can earn all 4 by reloading and completing the game 4 times.

Clicking Odysseus gives you 5 options

Fortitude - raises hunger a decent amount, no other effect

Motivation - Hunger slightly increases, self respect and suspicion increase

Pinch - Reduces hunger and self-respect, raises suspicion

Eat an Apple (max 2x) - Reduces hunger, slightly increases self-respect, raises suspicion

Eat a Doughnut (max 1x) - Greatly reduces hunger and self-respect, raises suspicion

Clicking the intercom gives 2 more options

Hurry Barton Up - Slightly increases hunger, slightly reduces self-respect, greatly raises suspicion - I recommend not selecting this one at all.

Allay Barton's Fears - Slightly increases hunger, slightly reduces self-respect, greatly reduces suspicion

Run Some Diagnostics

After the game, take the MICROCHIP from the broken alarm clock. Interact with it in the inventory for IAN BARTUSON AND HIS RETRO GAMES.

Unscrew the cover on the screen with the screwdriver and use the tweezers to extract the broken chip, and replace it with the working one. Then, look at the screen for a minigame - you will be presented with 3 pairs of similar screens - locate and click on the difference between each pair to proceed.

After the minigame, access the terminal and click the gold button again, which unlocks the diagnostics program. Run it.

After it fails, you can now unscrew the panel and insert the RUBBER DUCK. This will fix the door.

However, before you re-run the diagnostics, use the EYE ICON under the bed for UNDER THE BED. Then, reach under and take the ALARM CLOCK HOUSING. Take a SPEAKER from the debris on the floor, a MICROCHIP from the toy robot (unscrew him) and a CIRCUIT BOARD from the shelf. Combine all of these items for a working alarm clock and place it on the bedside shelf.

Rerun the diagnostic to complete the chapter and earn BACK TO THE STARTING POINT.
