    Interrogation: You Will Be Deceived uses dialogue-heavy gameplay to remind us that many extremists start as frustrated people. It mostly succeeds by pulling from all walks of life for its characters. I would've liked to see the gameplay dig just as deep.

    A good recipe usually makes a good cake, and so it proves here. This investigative adventure will stagger your brain and make you think - think hard and deep, sometimes uncomfortably so.

    Interrogation: You will be deceived is a cops and robbers game where the action takes place inside a single room, with you having to skilfully manipulate suspects into spilling the beans… by any means necessary. It has its issues, like how annoyingly precise you have to be with your moves, or how it's sometimes hard to understand why you failed, leading to plenty of trial-and-error, and, yes, this is a niche title that won't appeal to just about anyone. Having said that, it's a very good interrogation sim, features a great noir art style, and is deeply immersive.

    A dialogue-based puzzle indie game with a few gameplay twists, a well developed storyline, and inspired and realistic conversations with variable approaches, but with a lack of atmosphere building elements such as voice acting and animations.

    Interrogation: You Will Be Deceived is an engaging game about fascinating subject matter that falls flat due to its stiff and awkward conversations.

    Engaging and deep exploration of a number of topics: extremism, radicalization, the moral limits of authorities etc.

    The noir art fits like a glove, and the story/characters are really well written

    If you think it's a visual novel, stop reading: it's not for you.
    This is an engaging detective game where immersing yourself in history is crucial! So many choices to make and so many parameters to take into account make the challenge high and fun.
