Why don't we add a section about the critical response to the game? I know that it has recived some very poor reviews, as has Return to Earth. KLLtR 00:50, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Not all the reviews for Evacuation Earth seem to be poor though, unlike Return to Earth which seems to be panned universally. Perhaps another notable thing in this area though would be the fact that the actual style of gameplay seems to be ripped directly from the Professor Layton series?

It should also probably be added in "Production errors" that there's an impossible puzzle with absolutely no solution, though it isn't necessary to completing the story of the game. It's "Shift Times" I think, where the player is given 5 rules for deciding when each worker should be doing their shift. The rules are actually impossible to fulfill, (obviously a brief oversight when they were fact checking) so no matter what order you place the workers' names, it shows up as "WRONG".

If you're thinking of the puzzle I'm thinking of, I do believe that the conditions ''can'' be fulfilled, just that even when the correct answer is provided it ''still tells you it's wrong'', which is what makes it unsolvable. Also, the "Silurian Symbols" (where you have to group the symbols into groups of four on the Silurian computer) has at least two correct answers, however it only accepts one of them.
