As many of you will already know, Gemini Rue is a sci-fi-infused point-and-click adventure that was first released on PC back in early 2011.

In it, you take on the role of ex-assassin Azriel Odin, who's now a reformed law enforcer searching for his missing brother.

If you've played this Gold Award-winning title, you'll already know that it's not set on Earth. Gemini Rue actually takes place during the 23rd century in a war-ravaged planetary system known as the Gemini System.

At review, we called Gemini Rue an "essential game for point-and-click fanatics", and noted that it's jam-packed to the brim with atmosphere, a compelling narrative, and clever puzzles".

Still, Gemini Rue only just managed - with 35 votes - to top our most recent Game of the Week poll. Team 17's spineless military sim Worms 2: Armageddon for Android and murder mystery puzzler Blue Toad Murder Files weren't far behind.

You can download Gemini Rue for your iPhone and iPad for £2.49 / $3.99.
