High Hopes

As a HUGE fan of "Dr Dekker", I had the highest of hopes for "Poe and Munroe". The tie-ins to Dr. Dekker added greatly to the appeal. But for the life of me, I can't tell you what this "game" is really about. The general premise, is that you follow a radio-host couple on six self-contained supernatural adventures. There are "choices" you get to make throughout the episodes, but it's hard to know what each choice actually is, or have any idea how it will affect the outcome. For me, the "game" aspect of it wasn't very engaging, and the "story" was easily forgettable. Which is a pity, since I'm craving the content I know D'Avekki Studios can create.

A great campy radio horror film

Let's start with this being a semi-wholesome game (I don't want any spoilers, but it's not too dark. The acting is really good, and the stories are OK considering the themes and the limitations. If you're not OK with camp and the script not going all the way skip, but otherwise give it a try, I cracked some serious laughter through most of it, and played it more than a couple of times on each chapter.

Bit Quick but Very Enjoyable

I enjoyed The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker so when Dark Nights: Poe and Munro was released onto Linux I snatched it up right away. It didn’t disappoint. To my surprise it wasn’t one story but each episode is it’s own self contained story. They do reference each other a bit but could be viewed on their own. The FMV quality was great and had no issues. The stories were engaging and overall good. The acting was above average overall save a couple people. The humour was top notch and my favourite part. One of my only gripes was that the choices you are presented with are often not obvious. Sometimes I had no idea what each of the choices meant or what decision they would render. It took an episode or more to get any kind of handle on things. For instance sometimes when you can pick Poe or Monroe it is because that’s whose perspective you will be following for the next few scenes but I only know that by experience not because the game explained it well. I think adding text to the choices would have made things clearer. I also found the ending to the final episode to be a bit rushed but maybe that was due to my choices. I played Dark Nights on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t encounter any bugs. There were options for vsync; triple buffering; and a 25 FPS lock. There was only one save slot. There was no save option present but the game may have saved on exit. I played an episode through before exiting just to be safe. Alt-Tab didn’t work. You can pause the game at any time. Overall I enjoyed my time with the game. Each episode felt a little quick but was able to tell an interesting story anyway. If you enjoy FMV games or the developer’s previous work you should find some fun here. I finished all six episodes in two hours and thirty minutes. It felt a bit quick but nothing too bad. I paid $13.04 CAD for the game and felt that was fair. I could certainly enjoy these characters more if they appear in future games.

Love FMV games

I played this a while ago, purchased on STEAM and enjoyed my time with it and finished it to the end.

Terrible

My god, this game sucks. After playing four scenarios, I still have no idea what the game is about. Choices seem to make little difference.
