    This is confusing enough without adding in Sting, the founding member of The Police, isn't actually in the police. At least every move he makes and every breath he takes, Jon will be watching him.

    The premise feels similar to the film "Source Code". Where the main character relives the last 8 minutes of someone killed in a train bombing so they can catch the terrorist.

    • @user-iz5ep1sw5h
      @user-iz5ep1sw5h 6 месяцев назад

      Sort of killed. If I remember correctly, he prevented the train bombing in his insular alternate coma reality and then after they turned off the thing that was keeping his brain alive, he continued living on alternate earth.
      I don't know what their specific intent was except to be like "what's more real; real reality or brain living in a box on life support reality oooOooOooOoOoOooO...spooky. If you prevent your own murder in the woods and no one is around to see it; did it ever even happen? OooooOoOooOòooOooo"
      ...however it seems like the whole thing ends up just being like "machine theory...now you fill in the gaps." Because the only way he could continue on in alternate life after they unplugged his brain would be that they were all just different layers of the unreal reality onion.
      ...the Matrix is like ogres. And what do ogres have? Layers. Welcome to the layer cake.

Find the secrets to reveal the storyline and pretty creepy with some jumpscare moments. Your job is to assess the damages on infrastructure buildings, but there’s alot going on in this game ;) Claire might like it too.

    This was a cool watch. I love the fact you've got to compile a case based on just things being spoken, rather than having to try and find 100 different types of clues. Elegantly simple concept and yet complex enough to piece together the story (crime).

    18:32, I was thinking the bomb was in Kint. He says "leg feels heavier than usual" and it sounds like something different. Me leg with the bomb inside it.

      What I found suspicious right out the gate where Dwights movements. So I thought to myself, he'd probably be Raven, by then MATN hadn't even yet listened to Martin and the other guy... funny to see my instincts there were correct (probably wouldn't have held up due to lack of proper evidence, but the mannerisms did him in.

  • @felixthecrazy

      I had a work phone and a private phone for years. And you don't really need to have a separate phone to detonate a bomb, especially if you're about to burn your identity anyway, and thus presumably dump your phone.

    20:57 That would be correct, assuming Doug doesn't refer to himself in the third person. I really hope someone in one of the later puzzles does, just to throw the player off a bit.
    EDIT: Also, one QoL change I'd like to see would be the ability to denote in-game how sure you are of someone's identity. Being able to change the symbol to the right of the name once you've assigned it, for example.

  • @scragar

    You mislabelled Sting early on when you mistakenly thought you'd selected Cassidy, and then looked for the only other unassigned bubble to assign to be Sting even though it clearly couldn't have been them(they were following Cassidy into the station when you went to label them, how could they have possibly gotten ahead of Cassidy and be with another office at the desks in the centre of the room).
    Easy mistake, but it's why everyone jokes you have low perception, you missed multiple obvious indications you had the wrong person because you were so eager to assign the label when you got confused you didn't stop to work out what was wrong.

    While obviously not FMV, this does remind me of "Psychic Detective", a really awful late 90s FMV game about, lo and behold, a Psychic Detective.
    You played as his powers more than anything else, and could leave the protagonist at any time to scout around (all in real time, so you could miss stuff if you weren't in the right place at the right time), and progression was based on what your powers learned and told the protagonist.
    Great premise, pure awful cheesy game.

    To a lesser extent, but still jarring to my American ears is "skeletal". The first time I ever heard that pronunciation was via Jon in his Skyrim series (the Labyrinthian dragon).
