This has a ton of potential, but honestly it's not nearly linear enough and it's dreadfully slow. I'm hoping the ultimate mystery and writing keep it from falling off, but boy howdy did first impressions tank after the general store area pretty fast. Thank god it was only 2 dollars.

One thing I wish Microsoft was more upfront about is the length of time that games will be available on Game Pass. I know that most games will be available for approximately a year, but that just provides a vague idea of approximately when they might disappear.

I know that most games will be available for approximately a year, but that just provides a vague idea of approximately when they might disappear. I appreciate that PS Now gives you a hard end date at the time Sony adds limited releases to the service. I wish that kind of solid data was available on Game Pass games.

This is a first-person adventure game where you explore a desolated town in 1970s Quebec. I really liked the quiet snowy setting, and learning more about 1970s Quebec than I had ever expected to in this life. You play as a detective, but you (the player) never actually do any kind of mystery-solving. You just walk/drive around to find the …

I really liked the quiet snowy setting, and learning more about 1970s Quebec than I had ever expected to in this life. You play as a detective, but you (the player) never actually do any kind of mystery-solving. You just walk/drive around to find the next thing the game wants you to find, rinse and repeat. The narrative quickly turns into a paranormal thriller sort of thing, but it never really clicked with me. For the most part I just ran into the problem of needing an Item, searching every square inch of the game's map, not finding the Item, and going through that process a few times until I finally find the Item -- and there not being any interesting payoff for it. Just a bit too boring, a bit too aimless.

This is a nice game! I stumbled upon it only two days ago and it took me around 4-5 hours to finish it. It's set in Northern Quebec, which isn't an area I've ever seen in any game. It's quite atmospheric and the puzzles and the mystery are thrilling. I enjoyed playing through it a lot.

There are two reasons why I deducted one star: a) the loading times between some areas can become quite annoying sometimes and b) the ending. I won't spoil it here but I had hoped for something different. I'd still recommend the game because it's the first three fourths of it are insanely entertaining, especially if you like exploring deserted towns with a touch of mystery. Dip all of this in a snow blizzard and you have Kona.
