This is initially a very enjoyable investigation game where you watch a large amount of FMV footage of various suspects being interrogated. You use keywords to search through a database to find more videos of each suspect. I was able to acquire about 80% of the footage without using the game's hint feature to unlock random videos. This part was great fun, as you'd discover a piece of evidence or clue that unlocked a whole host of new videos and sometimes additional suspects to interrogate. Unfortunately, once you're done following the main trains of logic, the game starts to sag a bit. I couldn't work out the remaining keywords to unlock the remaining 20% or so of videos so I ended up having to use the hint feature for almost every remaining video.

As for the story contained in the game, the crime in question has hints of some mystical/witchcraft component. Unfortunately, these aren't pursued enough to provide a satisfying resolution. The acting for most of the FMV scenes is decent, with Lt. Colton, Ruth, and Heather providing the best performances. Natalie provides a pretty wooden performance and it feels that it's her first time seeing most of the lines. I would suggest for the developers that they provide the teleprompter or whatever option they used for that near the camera for any future games. Natalie and Caleb are fairly obviously staring off to the side at their lines for their entire scenes, rarely making any eye contact with the people ostensibly interrogating them. The ending resolution for the story is also a bit weak. It works, but it's not particularly exciting. If it did more with the occult themes in the story it might have been stronger. I'd still recommend the game, it's a good time, particularly during the first 2/3rds where you feel like you're truly an investigator.

Sledujete výslechy podezřelých, sbíráte důkazy, analyzujete a pomocí klíčových slov hledáte další záznamy v databázi. Doporučuji dělat si poznámky, některé informace se vám budou hodit i později.

Většina herců to zvládla na jedničku a vyšetřování jsem si užil od začátku do konce. Vlastně mě to bavilo víc než Her Story.
