An Interesting Tale
I only played the Redux version, and I have to say that it was pretty good. This isn't a typical Adventure, because it's all played with the keyboard; there's no pointing and clicking, and it's all done without a text parser. The entire process is streamlined by these simple controls, which makes the game very fluid. The visuals are almost entirely monochrome, but there are occasional splashes of color, mostly red. The voice acting starts out really bad, but it gets to be pretty good a little while in; you just have to stick it out. The music was mostly very good, aside from a few poorly-placed vocal tracks that just made the game seem like it was trying to say, "Look at me; I'm a movie! TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!" That said, the story was actually pretty good; the plot unraveled very well, had good pacing, and even though I saw the ending coming a mile away, it was pretty well done, aside from the dumb vocal track at the end. I think this is trying to be very dark and disturbing, but the violence and gore never really made me uncomfortable or even unnerved at any point. The characters were mostly great; you get to choose Joe's responses, so you mainly get to dictate what kind of person he is, but in the prologue, where you don't have much control, he's an ass and I wanted to slap him. The only other character I hated was one that you're supposed to hate, and his role is quite satisfying. Ivy and Agnes were both excellent characters; I genuinely found myself caring for them like I usually don't in a game. There are some scenes toward the end that tie up the story, but they star an entirely new character who has no introduction, and they come out of nowhere, so while they're not bad, and do their job, they could very well be done better. Downfall is not without its flaws, but they are minor, and don't really hold it back; I'd definitely recommend this one.
