Dec. 2024

An incredibly thrilling character portrait game about a broken marriage and the many secret they keep from each other and themselves. You are Loretta, and you are not fine, it´s hard to say when did it start and what triggered, but Loretta is extremelly unhappy and circumstances just keep clogging to make things even worst. The game is a narrative experience above all, there are some minor puzzles (that once completed you don´t have to repeat if you are not starting a new game but rather reloading previous chapters on the same save) and some minor inventory and item management, but it´s very minimal. There are choices along the way though, and this tailors the tale as you progress, even if some choices lead to dead ends, this are very specific choices but have tremendous weight on the story. I really don´t want to dig mutch into the story and that´s the main appeal of the game, but that´s because I trully think this one needs to be experienced. Like I said, it´s a fascinating character study of this broken woman. The graphical style and minimalistic audio design match perfectly with the tone it´s trying to provide and it´s written masterfully, slowly pealing back the mystery around the past of the marriage and other side plots that collide masterfully on the ending, which there are several (6 definitives and various fake ones along the way). It´s on the short side, and even replaying to see the other endings won´t take much, but it´s a very very unique psychological thriller that makes me hype for anything else this developer has store for the future, playing it was like that one lazy sunday you saw an old detective movie you didn´t knew existed and now you are telling all your friends they should see it ´cause they don´t make movies like that any more. Keep me hooked from start to finish and now I wish there was a sequel, a remake, a movie adaptation, a comicbook or anything just to give me more of this mesmerizing character.

I LOVE this game, 100% a Sleeper Hit. Amazing Characters, smooth controls, and an immersive story! The art-style is GORGEOUS, and despite it, the game manages to be super creepy.

Just a good game for a sleepless night like this..... Great soundtrack, not bad intriguing story, mesmerizing atmosphere of the deep American south of post-war times.. I was especially pleased with this song in the middle of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1-TrAvp_xs

A small but quite well-made game, a noir detective with a few twists that I won't spoil. The story kind of left me wishing for more, I wasn't really engaged by it. The puzzles are basically nonexistent, it is more of an interactive movie than a puzzle game. Still, the graphical style is nice, and I don't regret the two hours I spent on the game (although I definitely won't replay it in search for other endings).

Started off kinda meh , but eventually ' Loretta's narrative drew me in with it's intriguing murderous plot . I mean, who doesn't feel the urge to hit someone over the head with a shovel every once in a while? ᴱᵛᵉʳʸᵒⁿᵉ ᶠᵉᵉˡˢ ᵃ ᵇᶦᵗ ᵐᵘʳᵈᵉʳᵒᵘˢ ˢᵒᵐᵉᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ʳᶦᵍʰᵗˀ This game definitely has its highs and lows. I've been reflecting on why this game didn't quite hit the mark for me. I guess it's small annoyences that hurt Loretta's gameplay and story. Elements such as the derpy designed puzzles and particularly the text presentation in the game, which expands from the center rather than flowing from left to right, make it difficult to read smoothly (whyy guys whyy). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3247886516 Despite these aspects of the game that I didn't enjoy, I was still compelled to see how the story would end. I loved uncovering the unfolding events. And I have to say, the sounds and music are also impressively executed, conveying a psycho vibe at the right moments. If a murderous noir tale from the '40s featuring a vintage housewife tickles your fancy, why not endulge your morbid curiosity and give this game a whirl, keeping in mind it's not all peaches and cream . https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3247886266 Recommended.
