- Spark Five Linux [726.76 M]
In the near future, humans are terminated at the hands of their own creation. Artificial Intelligence proved to be the last major invention by mankind. Realizing that the inevitable end was drawing closer every passing minute, multiple organizations came together to create a consortium of sorts.
Project Spark was initiated, its sole objective being the restoration of intelligent organic life that would be capable of defeating the dominant Nemesis A.I. Taking advantage of a split in the Nemesis's personality, scientists went on to create a powerful android that would pursue the desired objective long after humans ceased to exist.
Embark on a classical adventure in a post-apocalyptic world. Listed below are some of the main features of the game.

Although the game has partial controller support, it is highly recommended to use a mouse and a keyboard for unrestricted game-play and seamless navigation. Localization was accomplished through a community, so it might be a little rough around the edges.
