Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo pays homage to Hitchcock’s cinema but does not directly replicate Vertigo’s brilliance. The game successfully recreates a mysterious, psychological atmosphere, but its execution, especially in gameplay, falls short of the film’s masterful impact. While the soundtrack and atmosphere shine, stiff animations and pacing issues hold it back. Would Hitchcock himself approve? Perhaps. But he might also ask for a reshoot.

This is a nice game. I really enjoyed playing it. It started slow but got me hooked till the end. Note: If you think it's boring in the beginning, just give it a little time, it gets better and better.

First I just want to say that I have not watched Alfred Hitchcock's movie Vertigo. So I can not compare the game to the movie or vice versa. This game has made me interested to watch it though and that is something worth noting. This game is a true rough gem in my humble opinion. I bought it for circa 2€ and was truly pleasantly surprised. It's by no menace a 10/10 but damn if it's not an 7/10 despite all its technical and graphical flaws. Carried by its soundtrack and most of all writing which I think is a bit of a rarity in gaming. Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo is a weird game and a bit of a tough sell. The graphics are very very dated. BUT! It has a distinct style that may be reminiscent of Telltale Games but I think Pendulo Studios found their own style. The cinematography is good but not all the time, nor always consistent. It's mostly good with good use of a variety of shots used in conjunction with the soundtrack to set scene and tention. It has scenes where for example there is repeat of a memory (memories being a theme in the story) where the room is just dark and almost nothing can be made out. It's a bit baffling to make the player watch scenes in the dark for minutes. The gameplay is what you would expect from this type of “adventure” game, the genre name is not a good one. Telltale esc or interactive fiction/movie would perhaps be more fitting. But anyway. It blows in my opinion the first and second Life is strange out of the water, likewise for several of the Telltale games but not all. If you like those games I would just recommend it right here, 20€ may be just a bit steep depending on one's budget but of the 8 hours I played I was never bored, just more and more hooked. It's a damn steal if you compare it to Life is strange 2 for over 30€. One thing of note is that i have not replayed it so i don't know how much truly changes in the story if you make other choices but i suspect not very much, the magic of these games are how much the game can convince you that you are important or lose yourself in the story. It is very linear though, more than some of these other “adventure” games. Now for the story and here my dear reader is where i ask you to not look at the spoilers if you want to play the game! The story is actually good with twists and turns. The characters are well written and multifaceted with flaws, real flaws that we all have. The cast is diverse and interesting, age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomics, education or not and mental state. I know it's a bit of a buzzword but I mean diverse as in much more than looks. Now, there are several points of view (pov) and you swap between them and even controle several at the same time in some dialogues. Who better to answer your questions than you! I'll be as careful as I can in my descriptions. The first characters you meet are Ed Miller who is suffering from vertigo after a car crash, but he swears there was a woman and a baby in the car that no one else can find evidence of. The second character is Julia Lomas, a therapist with a degree in both psychiatry and psychology who is there via a friend of hers that knows Ed, to delve into his mind. With more character pov:s to com. The story and mystery gets more convoluted (in the good, exciting way and not in the wow, wtf is going on way) from there. I hesitate to talk more about the best part of the game as it's a good mystery and an interesting plot. If you want something to scratch that slow story game for evenings (well evenings for me, atleast) I recommend Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo. Thou be aware of the scuff and some really bad lip syncs here and there. It's in my opinion worth it for the good story and characters. Thank you for reading! [Edited sccore from 8 to 7 & spelling.]

A very good Telltale like game with an interesting story that will keep you on your seat . I highly recommend this game for everyone that loves games where choices matters and loved the old Telltale games.

Aug. 2024

I'm keeping it, as I bought it super cheap on sale, but it was obviously made during covid lockdown. It's janky, with uncomfortable silences and moments of you being expected to read facial animations and body language, but the graphics are such that it becomes near impossible. Buy this on sale only. This has the makings of a good detective/story clicker sorta like a janky telltale game. Cheers.
