    the story isn`t bad but it`s
    There are several options and endings, so if you're a finalist, you can probably spend a few more hours

    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. 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.

    Acting is good enough and belivable, story isn`t bad but it`s nothing special. I`ve had around 1.5h of fun with it. There are multiple choices and endings so if you`re completionist you probably can clock few more hours but tbh story didn`t engage me enogh to warrant more playthroughs.

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

    Проходил сразу же после игры Late Shift, разработчик один, игра короткая, сюжет на любителя, но мне понравился, в целом игрой доволен, 7/10, считаю, что такие игры нужно поддерживать и они найдут своего поклонника, так как иногда не хочется особо задумываться над управлением и просто посмотреть интересную историю.Проходил сразу же после игры Late Shift, разработчик один, игра короткая, сюжет на любителя, но мне понравился, в целом игрой доволен, 7/10, считаю, что такие игры нужно поддерживать и они найдут своего поклонника, так как иногда не хочется особо задумываться над управлением и просто посмотреть интересную историю.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.… Expand

    The Complex is an interesting experiment that sometimes yields the fruits of its labor. More often, though, it reveals precisely why developers stopped using live-action video as a means to tell an interactive story. With a minuscule budget and equally small ambitions for its narrative and characters, The Complex just doesn’t replace the gaping whole that TellTale left behind. I don’t want to discourage Wales Interactive from continuing down this path, however. While it didn’t shine often, there were glimpses of a world in which this can work and work beautifully. I just hope they can secure the funding necessary to achieve their ambition.

    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]

    The Complex is hardly a game, but rather a bunch of videos glued together with a shallow story. It would be unfair to compare it to true interactive movies like Telling Lies or Detroit: Being Human.
