    Over and over, I risked certain death to snatch one more scrap of story.

    The Fidelio Incident is a solid narrative adventure game. The actual gameplay may be light on challenge, but it does enough to feel significant without hindering the overall experience. The presentation is also well done, especially in the audio department where the music really sells the player on the mood. However, it is the story that is the real highlight, since it deals with some heavy subject matter without being too preachy. The two main actors really give the tale some humanity and emotion. For those who enjoy the narrative-heavy experience, The Fidelio Incident is definitely worth seeking out.

    With the credits rolling, sat in the dark having begun playing when it was light outside, I felt fulfilled with what I’d just played; a game that is assuredly made by a very talented group of people wanting to make something different.

    The Fidelio Incident is as ordinary in its structure as valuable in content.

    The Fidelio Incident is a solid exploration adventure that's elevated by an interesting premise, engaging story and great voice acting.

    Too much of the game is spent being annoyed by having to slowly trudge between levers – a crime as old as gaming itself – only to allow it its little follies. The acting is splendid, the writing decent, and as I’ve said, the graphics a fabulous showing off within the Unreal Engine. But in its short time, it frustrates too often, and tries to do too much.

    in summary,I could say that however it is an indie game and supposed to make a splash in storytelling and drowning the gamer into it's full-of-mystery plot but still can't live up to it's expectations and conventions in this genre and finally cuts the game unfinished.    … Full Review »

    possibly the worst walking simulator i have ever played. normally i hate the term walking simulator as it is belittling, but here it ispossibly the worst walking simulator i have ever played. normally i hate the term walking simulator as it is belittling, but here it is fitting for what is presented, except you have to press shift a lot, so it's practically a "running while breathing heavily and shivering simulator". neither the monotonous, boring game play nor the pretentious, lame story is good enough to keep you going. puzzles are non-existent. you just get to come across some stuff and you have solved that "puzzle" to progress. this thing is really crappy, quit halfway through, stay clear.… Full Review »
