What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It’s a completely different story, which obviously takes inspiration from many Hitchock classics (Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds) and then tries to find its own route.
Moving to the audio department, the quality of the voice acting is great, but I found some sounds too loud and others wrongly placed (like heavy breathing in a quiet forest).
The machine the therapist use is actually a real machine, it's called an EMDR machine - it's not explained in game though and the graphics it makes are limited to the cliche 'spiral' to get that sweet hitchcock license.
I played that one with controller and Vertigo with keyboard/mouse setup and don't let the game lie to you that playing it with controller is easier or better.
The game(play) is identically cloned in every. single. way: from how you move the mouse to execute on QTEs, to camera angles because lifted straight from these games, to even having a portrait of the current protagonist waiting for you at the main menu.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
