About the game
4PM is a short, narrative driven game, made by one person as an attempt to tell a real, thriller story in the form of an interactive experience. It has high production values and a cinematic style. It is, with your support, a first in a series of smaller, narrative driven experiences, that spare no expense on audio-visual style.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, DirectX 9 compatible with 512MB of Ram, 4 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS.
The value story
It has gone on sale 2 times in the 12 years tracked here, most recently in June 2015. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 591 weeks ago.
It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Nephise Begins ($0.99, scores 11) and The Suicide of Rachel Foster ($1.79, scores 26) both outscore it.
More about 4PM
41 on Metacritic, 31 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 120 reviews written there were positive, against 31 percent overall, and those are 97 percent of everything written about it.
What players say
Despite the negative reviews, I enjoyed 4 PM. Rather than thinking of it as a game, think of it as an interactive movie. Although the story is just thrown in your face, you somewhat get to know a little of our troubled heroine. It was an interesting game, puts more of a realistic take on the consequences of alcohol addiction and the choices people make.
