    Interrogation: You will be deceived ambitiously marries adventure, RPG and strategy elements with a dark edge that will even have you asking questions of yourself.

    Interrogation: You will be deceived uses its detective story and a compelling cast of characters as a jumping-off point to explore morality and social issues. Even if it sometimes gets a bit lost in the philosophical weeds at the expense of its narrative, the core gameplay of conversation puzzles and resource management is solid and the noir atmosphere absorbing.

    Interrogation: You will be deceived is a game that some will play straight through for the narrative experience and some will for the experience of being a detective. Both offer an amazing experience that is elevated by the characters and strong narrative. I just wish that during the times of stress, the game made the player feel a sense of angst.

    Interrogation: You will be deceived is a cops and robbers game where the action takes place inside a single room, with you having to skilfully manipulate suspects into spilling the beans… by any means necessary. It has its issues, like how annoyingly precise you have to be with your moves, or how it's sometimes hard to understand why you failed, leading to plenty of trial-and-error, and, yes, this is a niche title that won't appeal to just about anyone. Having said that, it's a very good interrogation sim, features a great noir art style, and is deeply immersive.

    A good recipe usually makes a good cake, and so it proves here. This investigative adventure will stagger your brain and make you think - think hard and deep, sometimes uncomfortably so.

    A dialogue-based puzzle indie game with a few gameplay twists, a well developed storyline, and inspired and realistic conversations with variable approaches, but with a lack of atmosphere building elements such as voice acting and animations.

    There are interesting concepts at play here and I definitely understand why the team behind Interrogation were inspired to create it. It looks great with a black and white, noir-like visual style which really lands. From gameplay to messaging, though, Interrogation fails on almost every other level. Some of the more insane scenes that show up are something to behold but not for any sort of good reason. Don't be deceived into thinking Interrogation is worth your time.

    If you think it's a visual novel, stop reading: it's not for you.
    This is an engaging detective game where immersing yourself in history is crucial! So many choices to make and so many parameters to take into account make the challenge high and fun.

    The noir art fits like a glove, and the story/characters are really well written

    Engaging and deep exploration of a number of topics: extremism, radicalization, the moral limits of authorities etc.
