So despite my reviews on my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMightyFoxxy/featured), I'm going to review it here as well, because this game is just that awesome.
Gameplay: 10/10 with note. The note being that this game, IS NOT like other games. If you're expecting to be shooting, dodging and trying to survive, then continue on. Cloud Chamber is unlike any other game around with one of the most novel ideas in existence. Using an in-game social network, you use your brain to review, analyze and study images and video...then use that knowledge to collaborate with the other players, using the collective knowledge to solve an amazing mystery. And it isn't just some simple linaer idea either, it requires collaboration and careful thought...People with knowledge/training/degrees in sciences, philosophy and many other disciplines are need to help the less knowledgeable players. And to help force the social aspect of the game, certain documents and videos of varying importance are restricted and locked until X number of other people review/vote on your observations. The only thing I found that would be considered an issue with this game, is that...less intelligent people, may have a hard time collaborating or aiding the other players.
Plot: 10/10...I can't go too much into the plot without spoiling parts of the game here (if you want that, go to my channel. TheMightyFoxxy). The plot is extraordinary and beyond a simple understand of a game. It meshes real life things with fabricated information designed for the game, while making the players uncover a story that is so realistic, you'd think you were actually helping solve a conspiracy that exists in the real world.
Play Value: 10/10 (May vary by individual). I can honestly say, this is the ONLY game I've ever played that I actually would sit there and think about while trying to go to sleep. It entrances the player, especially if they collaborate with the other players, to a point that you WANT to figure it out. The quirk is though, it's such a complex plot that knowing if you won the game...is pretty much impossible without the creators confirming it for you. It also seems to toss some red herrings here and there, just to make sure that you need to think carefully, study and evaluate everything to the highest possible degree.
Total Review: 10/10. This game is great for normal people or if you want to give a gift to your conspiracy theorist friends, then this is something that will possess them likely for a few months and will be enjoyed by any adult that tries to play it.
