Interrogation Files: Port Landsend

I wish there was a middle ground rating because that's where I stand with this game. It doesn't stand up to Her Story but it still scratches that itch a bit. The word input isn't as great as Her Story though. I'll search keywords and nothing show up and then see a clip that had the keyword. I mainly just clicked the auto unlock clip button to get through the game because it was tedious to try and figure out what to input. Also the last suspect, Natalie, she talks like she's reading directly off the script...no emotion or natural pausing. Besides that the story is really good. I think it's a good effort.

Ugh. I was enjoying the acting and the story for a while. Then the 5th suspect Natalie was introduced. An ai bot could do a better job acting and speaking like a human than whoever this actress is. This is a shame because the other 4 main suspects and the interrogators were all really good in their roles. I can barely listen to Natalie. The game would actually just be better if she was cut entirely.

The core mechanic of 'input a word' and see what pops up is frustrating and doesn't function well at all. I'll give the game credit where it's due though, and point out that most of the acting is pretty interesting. Overall though, I just have no reason to start this one back up. 5/10
