Play Courage! Online

Courage! is a graphic adventure game released in 1995 for the MS-DOS platform. It was developed by TOP JOB and published by the Bundesministerium für Unterricht und Kultur. The game presents a cartoon-style, third-person point and click adventure set in a science fiction future.

Players control a protagonist navigating a world in the year 2039, where humanity has established contact with alien civilizations. The primary objective involves exploring various environments, interacting with characters, and solving puzzles to progress the narrative. Gameplay centers on using a cursor to examine scenes, collect items, and combine objects within an inventory to overcome obstacles. The story unfolds through dialogue and environmental interaction, structured around a linear plot that critiques a society where newfound interstellar prosperity has led to increased centralized control and reduced personal freedoms.

The player's progression is tied directly to solving these logical and inventory-based puzzles, which gate access to new locations and story developments. Key systems include conversational exchanges with non-player characters to gather information and the careful management of found objects. The game's pacing is determined by the player's success in deciphering puzzles and understanding the cause-and-effect relationships within the world, all set against its distinctive animated visual style.
