An interesting concept with, unfortunately, a largely fumbled execution. Games made previously to this one, such as Her Story, understood that you do not want to ask players to type in full sentences to view clips in this style of game, and even though this game has some measures in place to make it so you don't need to do that as much (single words often do work, and the game provides many of the questions for you to pick from), the amount you DO still need to type full questions, especially if you want to hear everything possible, still makes the game quite tedious.

Even if the devs were thinking "Her Story can do its thing, WE actually DO want players to type in full questions"...Well, I have some bad news for you, it's just not very fun, especially with a controller.

The actors are good and the story actually comes off as very interesting for much of the game's fairly long runtime, but it seems to lead to no real resolution. So many things seem like they kind of get to a boiling point and then...almost nothing. Someone kills you too, at least in the ending I got. But who and why? I tried to help all of them. What about Dekker? Everyone seemed to think he was still alive and feeding some creature. Then you find the murderer (I guessed correctly the first time, yay!), and all that just goes away. Alderby and Jaya are the real culprits, or something, but what are they trying to do?

I wonder how the game changes depending on who the murderer is. In my game, the murderer was unwilling, was hypnotized to do it. Is the only thing that changes who was hypnotized, or does the method change too? I certainly hope so.

It's an interesting concept but I came away from it thinking that these characters' stories might be better presented as a movie or some other type of content, and I'm sorry to the devs for saying that because I'm sure that'd be just about the last thing they'd want to hear.
