Game information

Our Verdict:

The Works of Mercy is an initially promising thriller about the morality of our choices that promptly dies thrashing and gurgling. Post-mortem reveals the cause of death to be flimsy writing and bare-bones gameplay.

The Good:

  • Interesting premise that promises a mature, psychological journey
  • graphics can look fairly realistic at times.

The Bad:

  • Story delivery fumbles its controversial themes
  • very little actual gameplay
  • much more linear than its apparent player choice lets on
  • voice acting teeters between rough and grating
  • awkward translation and bugs.
