I play games to be entertained and this engaged me and entertained me more than anything I've picked up in years. Real craft and artistry pushes boundaries and does things others haven't tried before and this does that so very wonderfully, it genuinely is something unique and that is so very rare in this world.… Expand

   This is one of a few games that could be properly called art but requires a seasoned taste for gaming to be fully appreciated.
   There are notThis is one of a few games that could be properly called art but requires a seasoned taste for gaming to be fully appreciated.
   There are not adrenalinc actions or fantastic stories to be found here, the story is beautiful but quite difficult to fully understand without patience and a good spirit of observation.
   
   I understand how this can be boring for someone who's been playing videogames for 5-6 years, i've been playing for 20+ and honestly "her story" was a breath of fresh air.
   
   And It's well worth the price so it's a 9/10 for me.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Playing this game I didn't know much about it. it is very unique experience, I think the video cuts are very appealing and as a player I drown into the story, I wanted to know more and what happened, which mean it is a good game.
   
   Finishing it, I must say that I felt that I need someone to explain me the ending (thank for youtube),
   it was a bit short, as I expected, like 4 hours game time,
   
   Recommended to people that love puzzle games… Expand

   Being into unconventional games, this one caught my attention, and it sounded promising enough.
   But it doesn't work out very well.
   Here'sBeing into unconventional games, this one caught my attention, and it sounded promising enough.
   But it doesn't work out very well.
   
   Here's what you basically do in the game:
   You are in front of a computer (in-game) and you have to search a database for keywords for which you then receive the first 5 matches.
   The clips are all about the same murder case, showing the answers the suspect has given throughout the interrogations over a few days.
   
   Additionally you have a DB Checker tool that displays the position of the last played clip. This way you can put it easier in order and even assign it a positional number.
   
   Now, I guess the idea is that you hear about new keywords in the clips, and then you search on with them so you get the complete interrogation. But that's not how it works.
   After bruting for 5 hours I noticed a major flaw there with which you can just cheat through the game really (I'll mention that one at the bottom again).
   
   The Story itself
   Storytelling is good and it probably wouldn't work too well if you just watched it in chronological order. But even then it would still be a good story.
   The issue is, the storytelling doesn't work at all if you spoiler ahead by accident really because you find a clip which is set on the last day.
   
   So really, it doesn't work either way.
   
   Now, your best bet in my opinion is to not play the game at all. The gameplay is crap anyway, it's just a time waster at best. Just watch a longplay on Youtube instead.
   OR - there's a flaw in the game that let's you get the clips in chronological order easily. Just reset the whole thing, search for blank. That gives you the first 5 clips because that's the default keyword.
   Change that keywords to 1,2,3,4,5 - search for blank again. Keep on going with 6,7,8 - you get the idea.
   
   Bottom line. Nice story, **** game. They **** it up big time.
   The game could work, I'm convinced. But not this way.… Expand

I'd rather just watch a 1 hour long movie then spend time clicking on 30 seconds clips trying to figure out what's this about. The database search that shows only the 5 first entries defies its own purpose.… Expand
