It is a fantastic game. I'm thrilled to hear there's a new DLC coming up, because I was sad playing it and knowing it would be over shortly...
The Darkest Files really shook me. I expected a detective game, but I ended up thinking about the people whose lives were destroyed, and how easy it was for others to pretend nothing had happened. Some of these stories are hard to hear. What stayed with me most is how little a human life was worth then — and how often it still feels that way now. I finished the game, but I couldn’t just close it and forget about it.
What a game. The look is so unique, and the puzzles are really engaging. Top notch game.
