Thank you!! I am particularly proud of that one

Very enjoyable overall Katie, that’s for sure. The final puzzle was indeed very good…only thing is [spoiler] the display says that exiting the test area results in failure of the test. Hence for quite a time we didn’t realise it was possible to go back to the shelves & were trying to answer the questions by general knowledge & common sense! We did quite well till the 4 configurations. At that point, we happily found out fairly quickly that it is possible to leave the screen after all. I would say the instructions here should be slightly clearer. Apart from that, the puzzle worked really well.[/spoiler]

Looking forward to episode 3!

I quite enjoyed the second episode, but I think I like the first episode more. I felt the story to be a bit more contrived here and there was hardly any character interaction, so that all the characters that didn’t get all that much screen time in the first game (practically everyone besides Erica herself), were even less important here. 

It appeared to be shorter as well. I think it took me several hours longer to get through the first one and the ending came a bit too soon this time around. This was partly because the puzzles were easier, though mostly better designed. I would like a bit more challenge though, as I didn’t really get stuck, besides one time at the beginning when I didn’t realise that it was possible to go one level higher on the map and see other locations (had forgotten about that). The stain on the wall where my head connected with it is still there to remind me of my stupidity.

I do like the new power that has been added, and would have liked to see the one from the first game where you manipulate memories (during the questioning) to make a return, but it wasn’t really used here.

But in the end, the game managed to sink its hooks in me and made me anxious to know what was going to happen next, which is of course a big positive. I also Like how it can be quite gruesome and doesn’t pull any punches in its presentation of the crimes and flashbacks.

So, while it’s not without its flaws, I’m enjoying myself with this episodic series and episode 3 can’t be released soon enough. Damn those cliffhangers.
