Pretty immersive but fizzles out later
It’s technically a sequel, but it’s a wholly unrelated story so you don’t need to play the first one. And in fact I’d say, save your time and skip the first one. But the second one actually did some things pretty well. It was advertised to me as an adventure game, but in truth it plays a little more like a graphic novel, because most of the puzzles are really simple, just bringing the right item to the right person, or combining items and the like. But there is one puzzle at the end that comes out of nowhere and is really convoluted and not at all well explained. It stumped me for like half and hour, but most of the time the game isn’t very complicated. It’s also an FMV game, so obviously the graphics and presentation look pretty dated, although there are some decent performances, especially from the main character’s best friend, who brought in a belivable performance for me that made me buy his relationship with the protagonist. So why give this game your time of day? The atmosphere. Without revealing to much, the protagonist suffers from some mental problems, and his mind unraveling is portrayed in an intriguing way, at least for the first third of the game or so. There are specifically some things that kinda like flash in the corner of your vision for a split second, leaving you wondering if you actually saw something, and what that was exactly. I found it to be pretty effective in building tension. The story overall is... well, it kinda fizzles out in the end in my opinion, and involves some plot twists that didn’t really fit, but the inciting events and the initial buildup is pretty atmospheric, as is the music that helps build the mood. If you want to see how it plays, or maybe just watch it (as I said, it’s kinda like a graphic novel), you can do so on my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihl0nNoiz4w&list=PLp4TpsJ7HUWWUA6NGTZB8YNmiT8VGcldH
