    The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is an extremely polished text adventure that you absolutely must experience. Its characters can invoke a deep curiosity that only tunnelling down that rabbit hole will ever satisfy, and the multiple endings and randomly selected elements help flesh a game in a genre that’s usually a “one and done” affair.

    The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is engrossing, disturbing and erudite, and though it’s a little lacking in plot it’s full of welcome ideas.

    The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is a fantastically compelling, suspenseful slow burn that shows just what can be done with a medium that, for years, has been misused and misunderstood. Look past its clunky parser and you’ll be in for one hell of a head trip.

    The characters all strongly stick with me after finishing, and I think that’s probably more important than anything else.

Every time you start a game, a murderer is randomly chosen, which spices things up. Besides finding the murderer, other patients will have a different ending regarding the questions you ask them and your answers. So, it is possible to play this game more than once and find other options and endings.

    You are a little more actively participating in the game since you need to type questions yourself. You play the role of a psychiatrist and detective at the same time, which I really like. Patients sometimes contradict themselves, sometimes tell a spooky story or just share a personal memory. The game is fun to explore. If you like FMV and want to be more active in the game, I think you can give this game a try.    … Full Review »

You can not get all the replies using just the dropdown menu, and it feels way more immersive if you actually free-type your questions. For £6.99 I think it is great value for money.… Full Review »
