Pendulo quality feverdream
I was excited for this because I love the movie - this has nothing to do with the movie. Apart from the appearance of stairs and someone being afraid of height. The story takes 4 hours to find a direction and then you swim for another 2 in a feverdream soap opera. The characters never get developed, none of the crimes really make sense and the cherry on top is you get gross misrepresentation of medical conditions. But that's not all that is bad. All of the gameplay is boring and not adding value to the game. I enjoy a good walking simulator - but they couldn't even get this right. None of your actions have consequences, none of your choices are choices. Graphics are nice, Animation is medium, Sound is off in a lot of places. The game edges you and never really gets around to tell you the story - but when it does it is so unsatisfactory and insane that you will probably feel betrayed for your time. Please DO NOT READ the following, I will spoil the story to show you how insane and nonsensical the writing is. I wonder how anyone thought this story is worth being told interactive - but then there is Pendulo and they have no judgement at all. A girl that went psychopath because of childhood abuse is adopted by a publisher. That publisher spends too much time with a writer that he is publishing. So the girl forms the plan to get rid of the writer to have daddy for herself. But the first plan to frame him with sexy pictures of herself fails and she lands herself in a mental institution. In which she kills her inmate and take on her identity. She then lives 8 years under that false identity, also has to kill the grandmother of her inmate friend. For some reason the inmate parents never discover who she is. But she manages to get a Yale degree in psychology in that time and applies for a position in the only mental institution close to the writer. Because her plan of revenge is to become his doctor and torture him further. But for that she has to get him committed. Which is easily done. She turns up at his house, wounded and drugs and seduces him. Then they do the deed and she spends 9 months being pregnant being offscreen some place else. Yes, actually... Then she returns to the writer with the baby and lures him into a relationship so that he develops a bond with the child. Then she fakes an accident to make the writer believe he killed her and the baby so that he tries to kill himself. But she already hired a third person to save him from that. And then she gets killed by the writers cat, who had it in for her from the start because the writer gave her a blanket that the cat wanted to sit on. So the moment you realize she is the killer is the moment you already know the crime has been punished because she is dead. All the bad deeds of hers get blamed on offscreen childhood abuse that turned her psycho. Which is a bold claim. Real life psychopathy works very different from whatever this story tells. Please take care of your mental health and don't indulge in bad representation like this.
