March 2025
For those who don't like the crime scene simulator idea, it is integral to Oliver's story (as are the seemingly random items). This game is like playing a movie and about the same length. Many say they could figure out the twist. If you've read (yes, there was the book first) or seen Shutter Island, the premise is reminiscent of that plot. Gameplay is simple and very linear, not allowing you to progress from an area until you've found all relevant items, which I rather liked. This makes the achievements almost impossible to miss and there is very little, if any, backtracking. There are jumpscares, but nothing can actually hurt you. Again, a plus for me. This is a simulator after all. I also liked the lighter mechanic. That being what it is explains the mouse sensitivity and walking-only pace. To top it off, the end credits are an absolute must watch! Highly recommend this one.

This game has a lot of fresh ideas. It's basically your standard walking simulator but it features an interesting story, lots of background information and also some scares that I haven't seen before. It took me about 2 hours to find all the clues and watch the ending which kinda surprised me. Hopefully we will see more games from this team in the future.

Well, it's really atmospheric and creepy. In that sense, File Destined succeeds. This is basically a tech demo with some arbitrary tasks to freak you out. There are not actual monsters, just lots of unnerving scenes and jump scares. Unfortunately, when the story finally emerges, we are beat over the head with some kind of demented moralist tale about drinking and despair. I wouldn't spend too much money on this, and it only lasted a little over an hour for me, but if you need a eerie, this will deliver.

its an okay walking creepy simulator. You try to find who the murderer is the graphics on this game are pretty solid really nicely well done but the game cant be in the category of horror... creepy? sure. 7/10
