Damn! Is this the same guys who were behind Man of Medan, House of Ashes, little Hope? Damn i really cant believe that is the same people. This game really have a terrific ambience, a great atmosphere. Im pretty shocked: i was not really convinced by the other games like really: i found the characters too much cliché, the story not really engaging, the scares can be resumed by the cheapest jumpscares that i had saw in my entire life.
But this game really engaged me from the beginning: the Story of MR Holmes, his museum, the traps, the serial killers stories; i meant it was really good beyond my expectations.
It really have a nice ambience and atmosphere. We asked ourself a lot of questions trough the whole game and we wondering what will happened next every time. I found the characters much more interesting than their previous games and really helped us to get more in the story and we have our reasons to save them or not. And the choices when they came was pretty hard to really guess what will happened and if we did the good choice or not. The story of Duhmet was really interesting and we were pretty confused about who was really Duhmet but we will learned that much later and found out he was the killer.
I love also how the game try to make our task much more harder by make us seek the objectives and stuff: i didnt feel to be helped and that really make us feel what can feel their characters in the Museum: hopeless, desesperate and try to make a path to get out of the museum.
Even if the game at the beginning take time to really give us the more interesting parts of the game and the story: when we get into the game; its pretty hard to let it go: the choices really make some big surprises about the fates of our characters: i thought that i killed some peoples but we revealed later that they were alive and the reason was pretty logical and i didnt feel that the developpers tried to make it incoherent or something and that really appreciate it.
The story about the first serial killer Henry Howard Holmes was interesting and to know after that guy really existed and known as the first serial killer ever existed is pretty creepy. I enjoyed also to see the bonus where we can find a little documentary about that man and how he created the castle and how he build that house and create some elaborate traps and stuff to kill his victims. Pretty shocking that kind of man really existed and it make the story more engaging and to know more about that man despite his horrible acts
The side story about the officer Munday was really interesting too: i almost searched every corner of the game to have more infos about him and how he became a serial killer: first time in a Dark Pictures anthology that i was so interesting in the side story.
In term of gameplay, the game is pretty correct for that kind of genre: the QTE, the choices, the moment when we need to stay quiet and stuff are still there and feel pretty good and we had also a moment where we need to hide that was pretty new if im not wrong.
When i started, i just wanted to finished it really and its been a long time that a narrative game really engaged me in the story and the characters. Im still pretty shocked by some people who died because i did the wrong choices. I had only Kate and Mark who was alived at the end. Jamie was killed on the boat. I still regret some choices and wanted to act differently. But its too late
The atmosphere and the ambience was really interesting and they added a few jumspcares but it was not too much and not too cheap thats a good point.
Sometimes the movements of the characters are pretty slow and not really responsive like when there was the climbing parts and the riddles sometimes the movements was not really responsive in my opinion but it didnt really waste my experience of the game at all.
The characters have their own particularites, their own gear, their own feeling and stories. And we can have the power to make some decision who can affect their opinions about each other andmi really felt that. Mostly at the end with Kate and Jamie or Kate and Mark.
And we saw at the end that the story of Duhmet is not over and he didnt died at the end. We have also a brief view about our new heroes? I dont really know but it sound pretty exciting for the future of Dark Pictures
I really nothing to say more. Im still surprised about the revelations, surprises of the game and i can really say that game really felt much more interesting than the other games of the dark pictures. Even the side story get me engaged. Nothing much more to say except go play it and feel the immersion trough the ambience, sound, characters, stories, choices, deaths too. My favorite Dark Pictures by far!!!!
