  • Two different and tense stories from different eras come to life in this well-acted FMV game

    As someone who used to sort of laugh at the early days of CD-based systems and the FMV games that came along for the ride (the majority of them being laughably awful on all levels) I have to applaud the people proving they can be compelling when done right. With the promise of two different stories involving two different characters separated by a few decades to go through instantly gives you a sense of greater value since games with one long branching story may only get played through once or twice before people lose interest most likely. Even if the 2 are shorter or less complex, as long as they’re good I’d consider that a win. What sweetens the deal is that though it isn’t always very clear that any given decision really will have a measurable impact (regardless of what the game tries to tell you), I found the characters and the people performing them to be quite compelling. Some life-or-death tension certainly ups the stakes and helps really pull you into the moment, making this one of the most memorable games of its kind I’ve played to date.
