11 hours Alfred Hitchcock literally puts the V into eVil. A remake of the psychological thriller of the same name, which will stimulate your inbuilt desire to not only predict the next move, but also, what got you there. Psychologist Jessica Lomas is called to help out her book-publisher friend Robert when (you) Ed, one of Roberts' writers, experiences or rather attempts to commit suicide. The human brain is not well understood, how to fix it even less so. It's a visual novel that can take up to 12 hours to complete, some of that time will be spent waiting for the loading screen between scenes, during which you will have to listen to the eventually monotonous theme music. I do wonder if I could have gotten the scenes to load faster on lower graphics settings, but the graphics are pretty good for what you are paying here. On the sound side the voice acting is superb, the soundscape and continuity of the audio effects are hard to fault. Based loosely on the movie, all the characters are changed, and the script inexorably draws you in. Meaning you cannot hit that exit button. Mechanics I did not enjoy the game mechanic that seems to come from controller ported games where they ask you to tap a button/key as displayed rather quickly. You also have to reproduce mouse gestures quite quickly sometimes, both of which I did find have to do quickly enough. But, to this there is method, because these make the game that bit more immersive. Sometimes you have to open doors, or move the feet of your vertiginous avatar using your mouse and keyboard. You choose a weapon at one point, and this very tactile mechanic makes that action so much more immersive. And besides it's a visual novel, you cannot really get it wrong. Choices Spoiler, because this is based on a story, the choices you get do not materially change the outcomes, and this puts a lot of people off. As a game mechanic this works, because someone else is pulling the strings the whole time, and any choices Ed thinks he is making are really made for him by his past memories and by other people. He knows this and swings between just accepting his fate at times, and at moments of clarity acting for good. I think a key thing I also took away from this game, is that even good people do bad things. Sometimes not of their own volition. And most of all in Ed's case that bad things in our past can twist the human brain so far that, well strange things happen. Some of these strange things are drug induced and some of them are explained at least in part by the in-game psychologist Jessica Lomas. Laura Croft There is a Tomb Raider-esque scene later on, that my throw you, just another way the rewritten story is modernised and made to be so much more believable. Get it on the specials, you can't not. If you did enjoy this game you might enjoy one of these https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41773079-EmpathyGames/list/91748/ .

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.

The story is brilliant, well worth playing. The music is also first class, as are the graphics. My only gripe is some of the game moves very slowly. Cut scenes which are supposed to be quick and suspenseful end up losing that suspense due to being slow. I also feel there's too much silent filler before and after dialog (although this could be due to its translation to English?). Definitely worth playing. 8.5/10.

Feb. 2024

It's an adventure game. The puzzles are quite easy. The draw is the interesting story.
