Surprised there's not a thread about this already! I saw the trailer for this at E3 last year and I've been looking forward to it ever since. I forgot about it for a while but it's due out tomorrow, the review embargo is up at 5PM tonight, so I'm going to wait for those and if it holds up, stick an order in.

Anything Willem Dafoe and I'm there.

Has my attention, will check it out later.

Megahurtz400 · 18 Aug 2021 at 15:42

Haven't heard of this until now!

Looking for some more immersive single players rather than having nightmares about Rocket League, if the reviews look good i'll pick this up!

Tombstone · 18 Aug 2021 at 16:21

Looks like quite an interesting concept, I'm guessing its not a very long game but definitely peaks my curiosity. Good to see its on Gamepass too so I can give it a go for free

Ooooh! I did not spot that. It gets better every day GP.

Reviews are mixed but I'll give it a go. I remember liking the look of it at the E3 reveal.

Matty8787 · 18 Aug 2021 at 23:16

Just realised this is on PC Gamepass from tomorrow so will pick it up.

Fluffybob · 19 Aug 2021 at 10:41

Colour me intrigued

Worthy · 19 Aug 2021 at 12:45

Yeah, I'm going to have to play this and make my own mind up. The reviews are about as mixed as I've ever seen for a game.

Witcher1980 · 20 Aug 2021 at 01:12

Is this out now? How are people finding it if so. It looks interesting.

Worthy · 20 Aug 2021 at 09:07

It's pretty good, I'm enjoying it. It's basically a point and click adventure game (love these) but you have to repeat the same thing over and over and try different things until you make progress. It can be quite difficult figuring out what to do next, but the sense of reward is there when you do. I wouldn't say it's a 9/10 like a few places have got it down as.

MatteRB26 · 20 Aug 2021 at 10:20

This looks... weird...

Kainz · 20 Aug 2021 at 10:36

Looks most interesting but I can't see much replayability here, unless they make different scenarios.

Tombstone · 20 Aug 2021 at 10:43

Its pretty decent really, the mechanics are quite well done. Its a pretty short game but I like the way its done. Some of the bad reviews are just ridiculous, I saw a review yesterday where someone had given it a bad review because they had played the game for x hours and were "still in just the one level" , duh ! Way to grasp the idea of the game doofus. Another review complained the game was repetitive. In a time loop game. Again...duh.

I had quite a bit of fun with it yesterday

I killed my wife by stabbing her to death, killed her by electrocuting her, took down the cop and shot him in the arms and legs, also I found the watch and solved who murdered her father. Apparently theres also a "real" ending which involves some sort of time travel into the past, havent found that yet though

Tombstone · 20 Aug 2021 at 21:05

Lol, this game has 11 different endings and some of them are super super dark

itchy · 20 Aug 2021 at 22:06

Its crap watched Robbaz play it yesterday, its a gaming lobotomy. Try fail, try fail, try again fail... and so on until you win. :mad:

Devrij · 21 Aug 2021 at 00:22

I had fun with this. I'll admit there were a couple points where I was like "seriously I've tried everything" until I realised I had missed one little detail and it all clicked.

Quite liked the ending, but saw it coming and had to do a couple tries to get to the bit where the game was finally like "dun dun DUN!" at which point it lost a bit of its impact.

That said! I still really enjoyed it and was really hooked. It was free on gamepass (or at least its value was amortised across all the other games I play and the cost of gamepass) so I consider that an absolute win and a nice change of pace. Plus, Willem defoe.

took me ages to realise the watch was how I could go back and change what I did in the past. Then it was like "okay I'll leave" game over.

Its definitely a marmite title, I've got 4 friends and my missus who have played it. Out of those, 2 friends hated it and 2 friends plus my missus really liked it. It seems to be one of those things like The Young Ones or Mrs Browns Boys which has no middle ground , people either hate it or love it.

Frubeling · 23 Aug 2021 at 10:07

One of the most interesting concepts I've seen in a while but all I've heard of it since release has been pretty bad

Definitely. I like it, I "finished" it over the weekend and got one of the endings, but I'm definitely going to go back at some point and get the rest of the endings.

It's an odd one though, I find it hard to convey my impressions of it.
