A movie. It is a movie. That's it.

This game has zero creativity to it. It is a mess of strung together scenes and dreams, masking as a horror game. There's a reason it is almost always on sale for a dollar. It is a disgusting waste of time. Do not get me wrong, I appreciate the time and effort put into thuis game. I'm surw whoever made it was passionate abou it. That being said, it is a railroaded storyline. A movie. you walk, click, watch a scene, walk some more, scene changes, walk, click, scene changes AGAIN, repeat. One big, hard to understand movie. Save your money.

Waste of time

If you read anything about the game before playing it, you know that it is more or less a walking simulator. So I play the first 15 - 20 minutes, which could be the start of an interesting story, but from that point the game just deteriotes with every scene until nothing makes sense anymore

Intriguing game but not for all

This is more like an iteractive movie. All you do is walk and click on some part of the screen. The game isn't about the gameplay, but about the story. No single line of text or dialogue, just great music and staging. You are an FBI agent trying to solve a case in a small town, That's all i'm going to say. The graphic part is quite simple, but the light add something special. As for the end, i didn't understand it, and i guess it's intentionnal. I like this kind of story where, you have to think of it after playing, where you question yourself. But i acknowledge it's not for every one. So if you don't like that kind of gameplay don't buy it. If you like mystery, investigation and atypical storytelling this might be the game for you.

very weird

I got this game for a dollar, I finished it in under 2 hours, it's so weird and I don't understand a lot of it, but idk the game is supposed to be a weird surreal story with no dialogue and it does that well, I think this game acomplished what it set out to do and that's respectable. I enjoyed my time with it, I thought the animations were very well done, I probably won't play it again but for a 2 hour expierence it was good. The attempt at telling a story with no dialogue is commendable even if it makes the story incredibly hard to follow. Idk I'd say it's worth going through once if you're in the mood for a surreal story expierence. This isn't a game though, it's an interactive story, basically a movie where you have to make the character walk. There's no choices, challenge, puzzles or anything that makes this a game, but that's okay for a short story expierence imo.

An interactive film with a lot of story

"Virginia" is a short game with a deep story. Since the characters don't talk and everything is told about gestures, facial expressions, music and plot, the viewer has to concentrate a lot. Especially the ending is the result of a drug-induced fever of the authors like the movies of David Lynch. To call the game a game is almost an exaggeration. There are some points the player triggers. However, these events are limited to looking around, walking around and pressing a button. The story doesn't stop there. However, I often asked myself why I had to press a key at all. I would have preferred to watch the film in one pass without the interference of my actions. The graphic style is independent and is probably best compared to a rough cell shading look. This makes the game timeless. An outstanding exception is the music accompaniment. Due to the lack of dialogues it plays a big role to emotionally involve the viewer in the action. The music was recorded by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. The quality of the music is outstanding and a feast for the ears. I bought the game in a sale for an incredible 0.99 Euro - a bargain and definitely worth it.
