Cosmo Blue - A Space Odor Mystery

Isometric retro point-and-click adventure that could have launched on the C64 in 1985: tricky puzzles, a delightfully twisted story, and authentic pixels in a modern guise. Head to Space Station E-17 and uncover the mystery of the legendary party artefact.

About the Game

Cosmo Blue – A Space Odor Mystery is an isometric, C64-style pixel adventure focused on exploration, light puzzles, and retro arcade challenges.

After a wild Moon party, you wake up on Saturday morning craving a strong cup of coffee—only to realize that something you brought home, something with a legendary reputation, has gone missing. What starts as a quiet weekend quickly turns into a race to prevent an escalating olfactory crisis aboard Orbital Station E-17 before the crew returns on Monday.

Explore retro-futuristic locations, search rooms for clues, read logs, repair broken systems, and piece together what went wrong. Progress is driven by simple item-based puzzles, environmental storytelling, and short arcade-style mini-games inspired by 1980s classics. The game delivers a short, self-contained single-player experience with dry sci-fi humor, and a strong retro aesthetic.
