![]() ![]() There's one section where I picked up a key. That's five calls to the same person separated by a few seconds. You have to call Irving each time you look at a different piece. One scene of the game has you inspect an assortment of evidence on a table. ![]() ![]() His attempt at chummy rapport is like ice-water on the ear-drums, and he helps evaporate any tension when he pipes up. For much of the runtime, he blatantly wants to get into Nicole's pants. The central dynamic is between Nicole and Irving, and dear God do I hate Irving. Sadly that's where the positives ends, because this game is effectively one long cutscene devoted to a story so appalling I think I myself might have written it back when I had to cram out essays last-minute for English class. Nothing but empty hallways, flickering lights, dust-clothed furniture, and the cold roar outside. There's a metric ton of horror-potential in finding yourself alone in a locked-up business after hours. A once busy ski-lodge that now sits vacant in the wilderness, slowly decaying inside from the mold and outside from the frost. It was clearly made on a budget, and heavily based on the Overlook Hotel depicted in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (sorry, Stephen), but it stands apart as a well-crafted and atmospheric locale. Whoever designed the environment deserves my thanks. While Nicole checks out the hotel there is the small matter of her digging up of the truth of what really happened to her classmate, the late Rachel Foster.įirstly, my praise. Imprisoned, Nicole's only point of contact is a FEMA agent named Irving who she speaks to over the phone. One day in December she visits to conducts an inspection of the empty building, only to get snowed-in for over a week. You play as Nicole Wilson, a young woman who inherits an alpine hotel that was run by her estranged father. It's a three hour walking-sim set in the one locale with a minimalist cast, and it fails to accomplish anything interesting with either the setting or the premise. The Suicide of Rachel Foster drops more balls than a juggler with Parkinson's. "He took a job delivering potatoes, the perfect cover for a serial robe-intruder." ![]()
