Real ASMR AND a Murder Mystery story??! ...Hell Ya!! The game 'seems' short here. But the point IS to have us replay it a few times over and again! Contrary to a Netflix or TV series, where what you saw is what you saw and then have to rely on your friends to maybe learn about a different angle or new perspective to the intrigue. Here you control the camera. And exactly because you can't see all the action all at once, you have to re-watch it from a different angle each time to fully get all that's going-on out there (and gain Achievements in the process)! In my opinion, this is brilliant and makes it a much more immersive experience than just watching TV! Therefore, if in doubts due to the many mixed reviews, don't run for the closest 'Fire Escape'. And instead, choose to enjoy all the action of this dramatic night, from your vantage point of view at the top of a building filled with weirdos. What could go wrong? ....Right?!! ;)20 found this helpful
It's a bit generous to call this "Rear window: the game". There's a lack of agency and complexity, and I felt completely "out" of the plot (not even witnessing it, let alone solving it). The idea is good, but I'm not fond of the execution.1 found this helpful
Having fun so far. Finished episode 1 and I am loving this game. I played Voyeur way back and this is similar but technology has moved on and this is really fun to play and looks amazing. Well worth the price I think.1 found this helpful
Great! Enjoyed it, very interesting take on a VR game!
Meh! Not bad not good. I'm not playing with a VR so maybe it'll be better that way. But it's more like a novel than a game and the story seems a little unrealistic. In the end, I do not recommend it
I liked the concept, but I really didn't like most of the characters.
