    While waiting for the game, I didn’t realise how close to home it will hit. Lockdown here, lockdown there. I like immersion but this is too much. Fun experience though. [06/2020, p.72]

    With cinemas closed and most everyone hunkered down at home, The Complex’s hybrid interactive movie experience might be just what the doctor ordered to remedy your cabin fever. Whether you play it by yourself or navigate via decision by committee with some friends, there’s something to be enjoyed here by everyone. In my mind, Wales Interactive has earned itself a reputation for being the bar to be measured by in the interactive movie genre, and I can’t wait to see where they go with it next.

    Once The Complex enters full-on thriller mode, this compelling choice-driven tale of a trapped scientist facing terrorists and moral decisions doesn’t let up and even provides enough prompting and interesting options to weather multiple plays.

    Those who want more involvement than occasionally making a choice from two or three options won’t suddenly get over their frustrations with the nature of what’s essentially a visual novel, but for people who want to enjoy a good slightly sci-fi thriller, I’d really recommend this. I’ve really enjoyed it.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Вообще неплохо, побольше бы таких интерактивных фильмичков, ток с качеством повыше, а то тут местами уж слишком дёшево смотрится, особенно спецэффекты. Да и при наличии 9 концовок половина из них это смэрть, и ещё две пары практически одинаковых концовок. На разок пройти вполне добротно.… Full Review »

    I actually liked this game. If you are into FMV games then I suppose you could give it a shot. 2hrs on record.

    There are some points in the story that just doesn't feel right, but if we look at the overall theme, it is a well-prepared game. CharactersThere are some points in the story that just doesn't feel right, but if we look at the overall theme, it is a well-prepared game. Characters are lovely, you don't get a chance to form a deep connection with every one of them of course, but it still enough to feel sympathy for them.

    For those who like fmv , it's worth a try.    … Full Review »
