Developer CBE Software and Publisher Lace Mamba Global have released today the demo for the upcoming science fiction adventure J.U.L.I.A. The demo is approximately 276 MB, and at the moment can be downloaded HERE, but I'm sure more sites will be available soon. The free demo allows players to dip right into the start of the adventure, experience the introduction to the game, solve the first few puzzles and travel to the first planet in the solar system the game is taking place in.
J.U.L.I.A. is a narrative driven adventure game in a science-fiction scenario: In the year 2430, Rachel Manners, a 35 year old astrobiologist and member of an elite group of scientists, which is sent off in a giant space ship to mankind’s most exciting space mission: to explore the first ever discovered extra-terrestrial life-forms.
After a long journey, Rachel suddenly awakes from a cryogenic sleep. She has no idea why she has been put into this hibernation, elusive memories to what happened before and just starts to find out that she is the only human survivor of her team. To make things worse, their space probe, currently orbiting an unknown planet in a far-off solar system, is severely damaged. Together with her now only companions – J.U.L.I.A., the spaceship’s very temperamental artificial intelligence system, and Mobot, a huge reconnaissance robot, Rachel now has to solve the mysteries of the events on board the space vessel, repair it and explore the unknown planet. It won’t take long until she encounters first extra-terrestrial life-forms…
Players are taking over the control of Rachel, and have to utilize the Mobot as well as J.U.L.I.A. During their adventure, they will visit six different planets.
Lace Mamba Global plans to release J.U.L.I.A. worldwide, starting in the UK and Ireland on March 02nd, 2012.

Thank you very much for the announcement! Since J.U.L.I.A. uses a bit different format, I felt obliged to let you try it before it gets released this friday.

Playing the demo now. Got past the puzzles of the beginning of the game(easy enough to let you go on with the game) and now on the first planet and did some exploration. Interesting interaction between Rachel, J.U.L.I.A and Mobot. Chief

Adventure Gamers is giving away three boxed copies of J.U.L.I.A.. After playing a bit of the demo, I grabbed the chance to get one! If you're uncertain about the answers, click on the link to the preview. They're all there. The opening theme to the game is wonderful. Congratulations to the composer. Gil.

great game so far; I got into the computer on the planet, but now stuck. Oh well, when I buy the game, I'll have to depend on our sweet MaG.

I just put my answers in (after first looking them up in the preview) along with my email address a few sec ago, and I hope I'm not too late to receive a boxed copy of this game?
EDIT - Just grabbed the demo now.
