Jo: Yes, as we were talking about getting the names muddled up. I think in the middle of one of our previous chats, we mentioned it as something that had come out fairly recently: another first-person adventure with a name like, ‘The something of someone something…’ Possibly the newest game ever covered on FFG! Rik: It’s a very new game compared with the others.
But I had got wind that it wasn’t great – so my expectations were very, very low. Probably less than I knew about the others we’ve played. Rik: What did you know about it going in?
Jo: I agree on all fronts – I certainly wouldn’t go freely recommending it. I think potentially people could find it upsetting, and not in a ‘this is powerful’ kind of way, more a ‘this is badly misjudged’ kind of way. Rik: That said, this is probably the first game we’ve discussed that I might not advise anyone just to go in blind with and ‘give it a go’.

Especially in this case, I’m happy I didn’t pay full price. It’s kind of like watching a disappointing film. Rik: I suppose all that can be said is, if you wait for sales, then these games don’t cost much, and don’t take up too much of your time. Typically, I only heard murmurings that it wasn’t very good *after* I had bought it. Rik: The irony is, we talked previously about the name being a bit copy/paste from other titles, and then the game itself turns out to be the same. Jo: I think we both put it on the list though. Rik: Well, shall we just start with me saying: this was my choice, and it is quite a bad game and I am sorry. Ok? Now here’s your ***FINAL SPOILER WARNING*** for the discussion below. So some caution is advised, especially as the trailer makes it look quite good. It makes some rather alarming decisions at various points, particularly towards the end, and it’s a hard one to recommend as a result of some of its missteps.
If you think you know what you’re getting into from the name of the game and the brief synopsis above, be warned: you’re not. However, unlike in most of the games we’ve covered thus far, the serious topics within, and how they’re handled here, are cause for some concern. Normally at this point I’d drop a teaser trailer here and offer generic encouragement to spend time with the game before proceeding. It’s a place that brings back unpleasant memories for Nicole, whose family life was torn apart following revelations of her father Leonard’s affair with a teenage girl, the eponymous Rachel, who was later found to have taken her own life.
