    The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is a title for those who look for a new experience, enjoy mystery/horror stories and have a strong command of English. Obviously, complains about the way to ask questions are normal, but we aren´t dealing with an AI like Siri, and, despite the 1.600 dialogues, we need to follow some keywords to elaborate the questions. 5 Acts later, we are not sure if we have played the game or the game has played with us.

    While action is thin on the ground and the performances gave me flashback to my Drama GCSE, I enjoyed my time on the OPM sofa staring at Doctor Dekker's couch, refreshed by its willingness to lean in so intently to its own silliness and B-movie aesthetic. [Issue#151, p.88]

    In conclusion, The Infectiousness Madness of Doctor Dekker is an admirable attempt at a niche horror title, marred only by the U.I. of the particular version I played. I’m already invested in their next game, I’ll just make sure I pick that up on the Switch.

    The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker puts a ton of work into the acting and presentation of the characters but lacks in the actual gameplay to make it stand out as a video game.

    To its credit, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker does work far better than it should given how much the randomness holds it back, but it could have been significantly better with a more focused storyline.

    FMV at its finest! Not a game for everybody but definitely a blast for those who like intense story writing, mindf**king psychic twists andFMV at its finest! Not a game for everybody but definitely a blast for those who like intense story writing, mindf**king psychic twists and fantastic and ever convincing acting! It's surely a minus on the soundtrack side but all in all an absolutely awesome game and a love letter to the FMV genre.… Full Review »
