This help with my short-stories itch.

--Really good storytelling combined with a good story and well achieved atmosphere, and the fact that is told in short stories made this a must for me.-- I loved to read a good book since elementary school, but the thing I always liked more than a good novel is a good short story. Books are great for short stories (Poe, Stephen King, etc), and the only other media I enjoyed them was TV series (Twilight Zone and similar). So, any time I see short stories in other media I jump right to them, but videogames have been really dry in short story territory. Today, it seems more indies are trying to go there, and this is a good example on how to do it. The game is comprised of 4 stories, but the last one is a tie-in for the other 3. Spoilers, the first stories are linked, but that's not clear until the last one in which they give a sort of explanation. Anyway, I really like this game, I enoyed the stories a lot (except for the 3rd one), and it helped me to scratch that itch. The stories are pretty well written and the first one is specially chilling. I think they did a great job with the atmosphere and with how they comunicated what they wanted. I can't really say anything for other aspects of the game, I think graphics and sound are pretty well done, but I usually don't pay attention to that. The only reason I give it a 4, is because the 3rd chapter. The microfilm was too 'micro' and my TV didn't display it that well, so I needed to check online for what was I'm supposed to read on the microfilm, and that meant using a guide for almost all the chapter. In the end, I find it with some flaws, but really enjoyable nonetheless.

Almost a great game

Excelent atmosphere, and some genuinely scary moments. Ruined by very poorly written text adventures and a mediocre ending. Trying 20 different commands before guessing the correct phrasing during the climax totally breaks the immersion. If they took the time to tweak the text bits and fix the typos, it could be a great game.

Short but very sweet

This game was a great experiance. Im not super familiar with text edventures however if you're new to them like I was; you'll be glad to know that it's very easy to pick up and get going. It has a great over arching build up, wonderfull sound design and pleanty of oint and click materials to keep your brain teased. Although it liked this game so much that I finished the whole thing in one sitting, the down side to is was that I finished the whole thing in one sitting. Be aware that this game is short however it was very enjoyable and well worth the current asking price of £6.99. My only other issue is that I wished the game had more branching options or maybe some pointless fun clickables in the background, just for the fun of it. Would I recomend this game? Well if you want a quick 4-5 hour experiance and you have £7 to spare, then yes I would recomend this. Otherwise I'd suggest you wait for a sale.

Engrossing!

Went into this one with zero expectations, and found myself immersed in the story quite quickly. Nice combination of text and point-and-click, with a nice score and effective sound design (one sound effect in chapter three literally made me jump) It is short, overall, but a decent way to kill a few hours!

They Tried, But It Falls Short

I wasn't sure what to expect from this game, but what I got was a hybrid text adventure/machinery-clicking puzzle game with a mildly spooky atmosphere. Nothing in the game is really that scary, at best giving a sort of creepy feeling during a couple parts, but neither showing enough to frighten or achieving a deep enough atmosphere to cause fear of the unknown. The puzzles are fairly easy and simple, often involving just following instructions and doing the most obvious actions possible during the text adventure portions. This would be acceptable if the game told a really compelling story, but once you find out what's really going on, it's a fairly simple tale of the sort that's been done many times before. The graphics are fine, but the environments are extremely limited (sometimes just a single room) and a bit cheap-looking. The voice acting is great and I have no complaints there, and the writing is good too... it had several typos in some parts, but some of them were obviously deliberate and others might also have been. All in all, it's slightly enjoyable but never really satisfies, and it's very short- going through the whole game very thoroughly and carefully, taking my time, it still clocked in at under three hours. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a bad experience, but it was one that can be safely skipped without missing much.
