What players say
If you are a fan of "walking simulators" like What Remains of Edith Finch or Gone Home, this is a must play. It focuses entirely on a slow-burn, narrative-driven experience rather than complex puzzles. For its tight, immersive 3-to-4-hour runtime, The Suicide of Rachel Foster delivers a beautifully melancholic, haunting ghost tale without any actual ghosts. Score: 10/10
- I liked that I didn't have to run from anything. I enjoy not dying over and over, so that's a real plus for me. That's not to say that I didn't think, "but what if there IS something around the corner" more than a few times. - Didn't like that I couldn't run at all - even the run was slow. Boo. - Why were there so many things to interact with that weren't relevant? And so many things that *can't* be interacted...
