An amazing game, with a compelling story and many moving moments. You play as a young girl (Max Caulfield) attending high school, who one day casually discovers that she has been granted supernatural powers of time manipulation. Desiring nothing more than to keep her friends safe and solve the mystery of a missing student, with the invaluable help of her newfound powers she engages in a continuous, frustrating struggle against the dark forces that haunt the fictitious town of Arcadia Bay and her school, Blackwell Academy. If this is not the best game I have ever played, it is very close to the top. There was not a single moment in the game when I did not feel compelled to go on and see what would happen; not a single moment when I did not participate in the characters joys and struggles. These things are the telltale of a great game. My only (minor) criticism is of philosophical type and concerns the ending. I will not give spoilers, but we are once again served the (very) old theme of a cruel, immutable fate that rules the universe with iron hand, which delivers a vengeful punishment to any individual who might try to oppose it. My personal belief is, there is no such thing; but the game believes in this notion, and this can be clearly seen in the end (when I always choose the option that, in my opinion, defies more this self-styled "destiny"). But, since the game is otherwise great, I will ignore this point and give the game the 5 stars it deserves. We need more games like this. Many thanks to the developers.
High quality art, creepy imagery, ominous atmosphere, creative and unpredictable story are the main features of this great game. As one guides the little Fran through the many trials born out of her psychosis, one cannot but be moved by the girl's dark fate, and constantly ask oneself: "what comes next? What is the truth about that night? What really did happen?" In the end, no definite answer is provided by the developers, and one is left guessing. This point-and-click adventure game really stands out for quality, depth and creativity. My congratulations to Killmonday Games for their great work.
