For this episode I dove into The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, a first-person horror mystery about a psychiatrist trying to help a small cast of patients and unearth the truth of his predecessor's murder. This game was developed and published by D'Avekki Studios and originally released in 2017. I accessed it through Steam.
Leonard Susskind, by the way. It was the Holographic Principle as theorized by Leonard Susskind that I was trying to remember.
Summary: The game was frustrating to get a handle on, thanks to its unique gameplay style. However, as I got the hang of it, the story was really given opportunity to shine and the gameplay felt more fitting. By the end of my session with it, I was eager to continue and solve the mystery. The characters are interesting, their issues are tricky, and getting answers out of them poses a real challenge that befits a well-written mystery. The clever gameplay ability to ask questions is significantly hindered by the game's inability to register variations on known topics, and I found myself relying on the offered prompts much more than I would have liked. I look forward to returning to this one.
Overall Rating: 8/10 Hats
