If you have interest in the real story of The Zodiac then this game might interest you, though I suspect it is more likely to send you off on a fact finding mission of your own rather than sate your thirst for details, it will give you a stylized feel of what it might have been like to be caught up in the twisted world of this killer and to feel desperately like you needed to solve the ciphers, to unlock the meaning in time to save anyone else from being the next victim.
Based on a true story, this dark thriller (a mix between a point’n’click and a survival horror/stealth game) excels at creating an overwhelming atmosphere that brings to mind David Fincher’s “Se7en”. This Is the Zodiac Speaking is not much of a looker and suffers from various flaws, but it really did chill my blood a couple of times. [12/2020, p.40]
A mediocre, meandering mystery game hiding under the mask of something greater. While it has a competent story to tell, it lacks the means to tell it in an engaging manner.
Summary Story-driven FPP mystery thriller-horror with stealth and detective modes based on facts from the world-famous story of Zodiac, a never-captured American serial killer.
