    The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker’s hook, for me, remains the need to take over as a psychiatrist. It’s not as easy as sitting comfortably and saying things like, “and how does that make you feel?” As Doctor Dekker’s replacement you are toeing the line between your patients’ sanity and insanity, having to decipher clues in their personality or stories to gain insight into what to ask. The supernatural, Cthulhu-centric story behind the game is also a shining point that has led me to finally break my hesitancy to read Lovecraft. Your own sanity comes into question.

    The characters are interesting, and the psychological threads draw out the plot leaving you just as vulnerable as the patients your interviewing.

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 »
