Games

Absolutely, if you're into mystery games. The concept is unique and the game is short enough that the gimmicks don't grow old. There's also a VR version if you're into that, although it's not exactly the same.

I recently replayed it. It's kind of a weird one, but yes I'd say worth 5 bucks even as a window into the past.

The interrogation gameplay mechanics are a bit vague and difficult to understand exactly how to make the game do what you want, or even what you think the entire mechanic does, but to its credit it doesn't usually give you a hard game over when you make mistakes. I failed an interrogation for example, but I got a few extra scenes of comedy that I didn't see last time when I succeeded.

It pioneered facial capture in video games, but it's out of sync with the rest of the body animation. Combine that with the low res textures and it's a bit uncanny at times. Fascinating to see given where motion and facial capture is today though.

I really enjoyed it. The gameplay and story was alright, but the atmosphere really sucks you in. 1950s Los Angeles with that classic noir flair.
