    Story driven, with a strong narrative and a very interesting plot. Good actors and you really feel like your decisions affect the story a lot. Amazing game

    It was definitely worth the time and money. I was interested in the story and performances. The main actress was great. Hope they make more of these and evolve the genre further.This is definitely something different.

    Unexpectedly entertaining for $10.
    I can't think of a reason anyone would hesitate to go for it, if they like FMV experiences at all.
    At slightly over 2 hours for me, I found the acting very good, the cinematography excellent, and the story unique and unfamiliar. I definitely need to replay it at least once more to get more out of the story, as a single playthrough seems like it's not    Unexpectedly entertaining for $10.

It also leaves the entire course of events open to interpretation as it can be seen from two wildly different perspectives.

    Just don't go in expecting gamey "gameplay," but I'm not sure why anyone really would from something that was clearly filmed with live actors...    … Expand

    For this game to truly open up, multiple playthroughs is needed. At 90 minutes long, doing the opposite choices on my second playthrough was very rewarding and loved how much changed leading up to the end of that playthrough. The 3 supporting characters, Hannah, Tobi and Kirstie all have their own branching paths that uncovers new secrets in each of their respective playthrough.

The touchpad is the only button you'll use through the story. If you're chasing Trophies you'll be in for a treat, as going after all of them reveals so much more to the story. For $10 you can't go wrong, play it with a friend or significant other and you'll have a good time, debating what choices to make.… Expand

    Erica is great. I love how Sony and Flavorwork took a different approach to a story choices game to a live thriller game. Overall I love how the story makes it feel like realistic mixed with consequences that impact your decisions.

    The original prototype and tech were made in 2015! Finally got to enjoy several playthroughs. Seamless interactions, great cinematography on a low budget. Makes for an entertaining time with non gamers too.

    Clearly had a huge amount of hard work put into it, which pays off with a unique experience at an incredibly affordable price. Highly Recommended

    La historia me parecio muy interesante, me da ganas de rejugarlo para ver todo el transfondo argumental, como interactivo me parece bastante bien me recordo mucho a Heavy rain en ciertos momentos . lo unico que medio fallo, es el uso del joystick, hubo ciertos bugs, pero usando la app funciona bien.

    Fun little game for $9.99. Interactive movie game on the PS4. Even on a standard PS4 and 1080P Plasma TV it looks fantastic. Game is roughly 2 hours, but multiple endings with the decisions you make. I will make this my 105th Platinum trophy.

    With the exception of some tedious gamification (manually opening doors and flipping pages), Erica is a perfect FMV game with an excellent story, likable characters, intense sequences, and difficult decisions.

    I am in love with this game. Finally someone who does interactive and immersive gaming right. You will have to play multiple times to understand the story fully, but you will not be disappointed if you only get to play it once either. Overall a great game and for the price anyway. I have spent far more on terrible films in the cinema than Erica.

    Loved it, it's a fantastic piece of interactive storytelling in which your choices shape the story. It's one of the best of its genre that I've played, and certainly the best live action one. The setting, actors and interactions are all very believable, and gameplay via the companion app on the phone works flawlessly. I actually played it through twice in one setting.

Also great to play with a friend/partner because you can make the decisions together. The negative reviews complaining that it's not actually a "game" are very unfair and say more about the user than the game; you wouldn't pick up a hack-and-slash and then whine about the non-existent story - so why would you buy an interactive story game and then moan about the lack of slashing??… Expand

    Why no one talked about how brilliant of Holly Earl's acting in the game? She's killed it.

    The production values place Erica in good company as an FMV psychological thriller, but with a near total absence of gameplay and a plot that struggles to consistently thrill, what’s left is an underwhelming choose-your-own-adventure tale that leaves a poor lingering impression.

    It's a bold first effort from the studio - the first spark of something great, perhaps. [Issue#338, p.122]

    Erica is a weird mixture of inconsistent but mostly quality writing, with astounding visuals and soundtrack. It poses as a truly interesting experience and even though with its flaws it is a step in the right direction for FMV games.
