You’re tasked to investigate a ship and find out how everyone died.
GAMEPLAY: Not much “gameplay” to talk about, no interactivity whatsoever. It’s all about watching/listening to cut-scenes and deduce who the people are and how they died.
AUDIOVISUALLY: The music gets repetitive quickly, but I suppose the voice acting is good, and the visuals are original.
STORY/PRESENTATION: It’s well planned and a very original creation. The structure doesn’t work for me at all, but is probably the highlight for those it works for.
This game is REALLY not for me. I find most of it cumbersome and time-wasting; having to follow some useless smoke to a body you’ve already found, having to backtrack to bodies’ locations to rewatch their deaths, get the story very slowly in reversed order. I had no patience and looked up hints online just to get it over with.
