  1. All in all, I rather enjoyed Outcry. I am a fan of these types of titles and Outcry is one of the best adventure titles that I’ve ever played in recent history.
  2. It is truly a work of Art which stimulates the senses, evokes your emotions and leaves you thinking. But it has that one fatal flaw which mars the whole experience.

    Outcry is creepy, stylish, and atmospheric, and contains some interesting gameplay ideas. While getting high marks for an interesting and unusual concept, it falls short in regard to providing guidance for the player and fails to deliver on its lofty premise.
  4. Outcry is one of the more surreal and impenetrable adventure games ever made.

    A cautionary tale of what NOT to put in an adventure game. Outcry has a fantastic story and some unique environments, but it's marred by pixel hunting and poorly translated text. My full review: youtu.be/L_a3JWBMLd0 Expand
