You get the sense that every detail could count in the future, and added to the fantastic story, it's an exciting experience. However, I found it tiring to get through because of the pressure to do the right choices.
I've never liked crime or investigation stuff but I've never played such an extensive choices game. It took me a whole day just playing through it. The mysteriousness, the creepiness, the through investigations. And what is most interesting is the sanity stat, it could literally change everything perspectively, either bring you close to doom or get you by just another day with you stable. I know it's silly but I wish there was romance lol maybe the male lecturer? Thank you for spooking me! :(
If hellboy was a text adventure game. One of the best cyoa games next to Life In Adventure and Magium. If you like those, you probably have good taste and you should give this a try.
Cool game
Nice story ! I've been reading it everyday on the bus instead of listening to music. 5/5 I'll think about buying the next chapters :) I really can't wait to know more about this mystery!
I have played a lot of games from Choice of Games and Hosted Games and this one for me is one of the top three among them.
One of the bestest games I came across. Deserves whole 5 stars. Reason for 4 stars is that people who read reviews think 5 stars revies are fake but this one is genuine. It's worth your time story
Gg
Quality is all over the place! Lots of annoying typos. Only COG game I couldn't bring myself to finish! 🤬 Mostly NOT good.
Intense and immersive storytelling experience
