Fateful End: True Case Files

For the first time, I play a game as an evil character. The main character has a very bad attitude and deserves everything that happened to him. The game starts off with the future. You find yourself locked in a box as if someone kidnapped you, and after trying to escape, you've been caught and killed. Now, they'll take you 17 days before your death; you will be careful with whom you are dealing to discover who will kill you. The game has multiple endings, you could actually escape death too. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3041976135 I don't know what to think about the characters; sometimes you like them, and sometimes you can't; they actually did a good job writing the conversations between the characters and capturing their anger and bad personalities. The side story made me understand the characters more and was a good thing to wrap up the game. In order to get the side stories, you need to collect random story fragments throughout the game; you'll find them by clicking randomly in any area you are visiting. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3041976388 The game style is more like an Escape Room than a visual novel. Most of the tim…

Fateful End: True Case Files intrigued me with its unique plot and art style, however between the text setting being either a snail pace, or double clicking to simply be able to read at a rate above that of a child reading for the first time, and puzzles that left the player with no direction I can't recommend this game to others. The story seems interesting but as I haven't been able to finish the game, and have only managed to complete the first 3 chapters, that is all I can speak on. The story I've witnessed quickly falls off after the first chapter, the main character isn't anyone you want to root for and it's not surprising that someone was out to kill him. The main character makes a living through scams and forgery to make quick easy cash that they can then invest. He's manipulative, you can make him cheat or be faithful to his girlfriend to whom he has no regard for her circumstances. Instead of trusting that her father is ill, the company she never wanted to inherit, and the long hours, the main character decides that she must be up to something because she refuses to get in bed with him more and more often. Despite the game having many choices the only indication I could…

Again I find myself wishing I could write a neutral review. The game quality is forgivable for the price. Its plot depth is rather typical for a mobile game mystery. That said, I found myself more frustrated than not. For a point and click, those sections are frustrating, with no clearly defined artistic objects that have you button mashing the screen for anything that may register with no rhyme or reason - only to find a bit of advancing dialogue means areas you already checked may have new items now that you're looking for something new. The text speed was gratingly slow and no good way to adjust to fix beyond double clicking. I personally found the MC to be completely intolerable, which didn't endear me to saving his life. On more than one occassion I got stuck for 10+ minutes just because I couldn't figure out how to navigate my way around the room or even realize there WAS more to the room with the registered click area to move or turn not being well defined or easy to find. Once you actually found the objects - the puzzles were decent. The music tracks were limited, but fit the moods well. The art was good. At $5 I feel Iike I got what I paid for, but I still wouldn't tell a…

Nice game! Good suspenseful atmosphere with just a few splashes of light horror. I thought the story was really well done. All the characters have a reason to hate you so it keeps you guessing till the end who wants you dead. The one thing I might say is that there are a few parts that play uncomfortably like a dating sim, but maybe that's just me. Beyond that I would definitely recommend this game.

Some puzzles were hard to decipher, and the hints were utterly useless (especially in the school and train levels). The dialogue speed was always infuriatingly slow. The story was engaging yet a bit predictable. Overall, this was a still cool experience, but I think that (for almost 10 euros!!) it could've been more polished. It's better to get the game on sale.

lovely novel type game
