The Victor Initiative

[i]Review revised now that I've had a chance to spend a lot of time with this game.[/i] I loved this game enough to write a 100% completion guide about it. I have gone through the entirety of this game several times on Normal and Story mode, I've replayed specific chapters over and over again. I've bought the soundtrack and had it playing in the background, TVI Girl an absolute banger and of course, Processing (Initiative Version) being my favorites-- Chase, too, and a few others. These tracks done by Jack Rafferty himself AKA Spacepiano/Spacepiano Games. All of the tracks featured in the game are seamlessly integrated into scenes that take place throughout the game. The voice acting cast is stacked, you've got: BG3's Samantha Béart, FFXVI's Ben Starr, WH40K Space Marine II's Inel Tomlinson, and more! You can find the other amazing VAs listed on Spacepiano Games' Tiktok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@spacepiano_games/video/7607177579409214742 The game itself is closing in on the definition of perfection. You won't find a more well thought out survival horror game that achieves what it sets out to do, its story nothing short of excellence. It takes place in a government facility …

Love the House of Leaves references 🤤🤤🤤🤤

2.2 hours in so far and this game is definitely worth your time and money. If you are a fan of horror that will stress you out? Get this game, it is VERY fun. Much love to the developers, even though you are EVIL!

This is to indie game horror what Evil Dead (the very first one) was to movies. Its not perfect, sure, but its got so much heart and earnest creativity that I have to recommend it Whatever game this team makes next will be a game-changer

Very good, not scared at all, I am a big brave grown man so I have not been scared a single time playing this anxiety inducing game with great story and funny jokes. Definitely did not whimper. I have witnesses.

Quick note before i get into it: I will be mentioning spoilers for some events in the game throughout my review, although i will not be mentioning specific STORY beats. I loved this game, it feels like a love letter to SCPs, and to Remedy. The aesthetics were delightful and the music was good. It was great The Pros: - Sam Lake cameo - The Rocking Horse in the House is nice, especially with the little foreshadowing - The documents were well written, and i like the worldbuilding that the documents create, mentioning items that do not directly appear in the game - I like the Music, and the continued usage of the three main antagonists. - The Last Resort as a weapon doesn't remove any tension. Notes: - I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate rocking horses now. The Cons: - It can get frustrating trying to locate a Horse before it gets you, as they do not play their Melody unless they are already behind you, which leads to a few ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deaths at the hands of The Horse - Some mechanics aren't given enough love, like the fact you can jump for like, one scene at the beginning of Chapter 2. - The Flash Beacon sequence in Chapter 4 genuinely pissed me off, i played with the dev intended brightness for the res…
