A time management game where you stalk your prey and kill them, all in a story of a serial killer slowly doubting his evil god. In terms of gameplay the time-management system is interesting. You spend time on increasingly difficult checks that can reveal a target's time while also giving awareness. The more you uncover the more details you can cite when you eventually capture your target and execute them in a way...

I expected there to be more content to the actual gameplay than their was, like I figured that the rules you might have to remember or the things to memorize might vary a lot more, but it was a lot more repetitive than I expected. That being said, the gameplay still WAS really fun, and I did find the narration and reasoning behind the main character really compelling, it definitely kept me engaged enough and meant...

A morbid game that honestly is absolutely hypnotizing. Gameplay loop is hard to understand at first but once it is understood, it draws you in, the different modifiers adding a nice level of challenge. The story, music, and voice acting is all absolutely beautiful in the saddest way. If you're into this style of game, definitely a buy for the price - even more so with the addition of endless mode.

Honestly can't recommend this game enough. The gameplay might be a bit meh to be honest (even getting a bit repetitive) but the story more than makes up for it. It costs about the same as a movie ticket and last around the same time aswell, with myself being able to complete it fully in 3 hours and HowLongToBeat clocking it at 3.5 (humble flex I know) It's worth the money and if you get it on sale then even moreso

now i understand what the titles mean theres no intro to the game and I was a little confused about which bones I was supposed to break at first, later I realise some factors mean basically nothing in story mode. I cant believe almost no one carries arms is this really America? the story is surprisingly short. I like the game title.

Honestly one of my favourite games of all time. I feel i should say, while i did not dislike the actual gameplay, there was only one section i can really say i actively liked. This is not a game you are playing for the gameplay. Everything else is bloody brilliant, The art, the soundtrack, the writing, the story, the voice acting(my god the voice acting) Genuinely phenominal, 10/10

I finished the game in one sitting, in the dark, and sat there afterward not really thinking about anything, just aware of how easily "getting to know someone" and "getting ready to hurt someone" had started to look identical on screen. It's short. It's a little repetitive by the back half, and the organ-removal puzzles can punish you for one missed detail with a full restart, which stings more than it should in a...

5.5/10. Whether or not you think the narrative and presentation can make up for the dearth of compelling gameplay probably boils down to a matter of personal preference. Yes, the music, artwork, voice acting, story, and overall atmosphere make for a pretty unique concept, but the methodical gameplay involving nothing more than clicking some boxes, memorizing a small set of information, and clicking on an anatomical...

The mechanics are simple but definitely require you pay attention to important details. I appreciated that it was challenging, but not frustrating. I liked the stylized art and voice acting, story stayed engaging and I always appreciate multiple endings. Level select option makes it easy to go back and play through different parts of the story, including the ending. Definitely worth the price and endless mode is a...

Soul-crushing experience. All the targets you murder have their own lifes, which you are forced to see. It feels incredibly cruel. The game has an interesting aatmosphere, but the gameplay loop gets repetitive very quickly. Due to your time being limited, you don't really get to "care" about most of the victims, and so their murder starts to feel less and less impactful. The game is fairly short, though there's an...
