A thriller story with Pendulo's touch

I've been a longtime fan of Pendulo Studios, but skipped their last game, Blacksad. However, I was curious of this new game, and wanted to see if it was as good as before they started working with Microids. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this game. The narrative and musics are top notch and really carry the whole game through. The intrigue is great, it does not follow the plot of any movie, and if the major theme of the game is Vertigo, I'd say it uses all the movies as inspirations. You can also feel Pendulo's touch, even lightly, which reminded me of the Runaway and Yesterday games. On that regards, the last cutscene of the game is absolutely perfect ! I played it fully in French, and the dubbing is great. I guess it is thanks to Microids that we have it and it is well appreciated ! I'd say the only flaw of this game is the lengthy loading times, even on a powerful recent PC with a SSD (mostly during the hypnosis sections). Apart from that, I started playing 3 days after launch and only have encountered a minor bug, where an audio line is not playing (from what I noticed in Youtube, it is also present in the English dubbing of the game). But that didn't stop me at all from understanding everything. I just hope it sells enough so the studio (and Microids) continue to create great games like that. Really give it a try if you are hesitating (also it is not terribly expensive, and it took me about 12h taking my time).

Absolutely gorgeous!

Yes, this is more of a "walking simulator" than an actual game. Mechanics are similar to "Hard Rain" or "Detroit: Become Human". Choices may alter some events, but the main storyline remains unaltered. However, the story itself is so well written and engaging, that it really doesn't matter if there's one or multiple endings. I played the Spanish version, and the dubbing is absolutely gorgeous. The story has little resemblance to the original Vertigo movie, but got me hooked from beginning to end. In summary, a fantastic "movie" experience for thriller lovers… and with a fantastic humorous ending answering what seemed to be an unsolved mystery (won't do any spoilers here!)

A Story That Stands on Its Own

It was the story and cinematic shots that kept me glued to the screen. A true labor of love from Pendulo Studios.

A bit too twisted/far-fetched story

I liked the first half of the story, but then it got a bit too much, and partly very very booring. Game is not very well optimized, there are much prettier games out there that run a lot better. Game is ok, like a very long movie with interactive parts where you explore and look for hotspots to interact with. And a bunch of QTE.

Definitely not a game

One of those games where you click on a thing to watch more of the story, like the walking dead episodic stuff. A woman is telling you about something and hands you some tea. You have to swipe the mouse down to take it. That's the game. Then you get up and walk and click on hot spot. It tells you a bit more of the story. That's really the game. I think the story is nice and captivating. I think because I was constantly interrupted by these stupid actions. Let me put it this way, remove all these aggravating interactions and it is a 30 minute a very cool short movie. But currently it is a 10 hour of unskippable torture. If you have nothing else to do and there is a 80% sale then go for it. Otherwise strong pass.
