What players say
At first promising, but then quite weak and short story with barely any branches for alternative storylines. It's mainly a very linear bad or good choice until the end, then you have to go through the whole game again to see the "bad endings" which you missed. A bit sad when you know that Kodaka had made way better stories / games (e.g. Danganronpa). Hope he / they will try again though, as the production quality is...
Death Come True is a subpar, decently told story, but there's simply no reason for it to exist as a video game. At its core, this is just a movie with extra steps. A good FMV game at least offers branching paths, which, even if they converge to the same end point, offer up the illusion of choice. This doesn't even try. There's a single linear storyline, and most "choices" amount to a 50/50 gamble between progressing...
Really fun game! I played it with some friends over a Discord call and it was like a movie night where we made choices together on how to progress the story. A good, digestible runtime (around 2 hours), great performances and camerawork, and the story was gripping from beginning to end. I recommend the game wholeheartedly, worth its price.
