What players say
This game is equal parts mesmerizing to look at, equal parts entrancing to play, and executed so cleanly that nothing really feels like it's dragging it down. The visual design, level design, and gameplay are finely crafted with absolutely no fat whatsoever, which elevates the intrigue of the setting and story tremendously. The whole gameplay loop folds perfectly back onto itself, yet they kept finding fascinating...
FOR IT'S TIME AND EVEN NOW This was and is a 'decent' looking game. Something looking like the inside of 5 star hotels, looks great. This has for VA (voice actor), Rose Leslie and accompanying Nicholas Boulton . There was clear indication for the progress of the story into a FILM, to date we haven't further detail on that. It's played in third person VIEW, there is a psychological effect in what appears to be you...
i got more than halfway through this game but ultimately couldn't bring myself to keep going so this is a do not recommend unless you are very into stealth games. the core mechanic is interesting, but not enough on its own to sustain a game of this length.
