The Suicide of Rachel Foster

Detectives! Mystery! Murder! Ghosts Quarantine Short USA West Winter Won on SteamGifts

This had promise, but ultimately it is kind of a disappointment. You have to check out your family's creepy old hotel, which is in probate. But exploration isn't really rewarded, there are only a limited number of items you can look at to get information/insight, and I feel the ending went in an unnecessary direction. I was engaged enough while playing and enjoyed some creeping moment while thinking of The Shining, but in retrospect there could have been more.

'Twas just the season.


Two Point Hospital

Achievement Clean Up Disease Make Believe - Simulated Lives Very Long

This is a hospital-building simulation game. It has a goofy take on medicine, as your patients will suffer from illnesses such as Verbal Diarrhea. Those who think they are more of a hotshot than they are might find themselves in psychiatry, being treated for Mock Star. Others just need a light bulb detached from their heads.

New features are slowly unlocked as you progress through different hospitals. It can be kind of annoying to keep building the same hospital rooms, but there is a feature to save room templates to reuse. Even this can get a bit fiddly, as some areas need air conditioning and others need heating. Eventually you can start to get outbreaks in your hospital, which leads to a kind of fun mini-game that has you looking out for infected people based on the strange physical symptoms they cause.


Nancy Drew: Danger By Design

At Least Somewhat Historic Detectives! Mystery! Murder! Educational Food France Literary Ties Medium World Wars Era

In this game, Nancy Drew goes to Paris to solve a mystery regarding a designer of plus-size clothing of all things. Although I'm a big francophile, this entry to the series is kind of boring to me. Not enough French or France stuff, I guess. One real location you can explore is the Square du Vert-Galant. You use the metro system to travel around a handful of locations in the city.

There is often some kind of historical aspect to these games, and in this one it involves secret codes used during World War II. You get a chance to decode some of these using a few different methods. You also have to buy a lot of stuff from street vendors, which can be annoying because of unskippable dialogue. There is a logic puzzle in which you have to create outfits for a client (a cameo from an earlier game) according to certain criteria. That was a good puzzle idea, although it was too easy and the clothes are as ugly as sin. We also revert back to the days of no cell phone, so you have to call a calling card number before then calling any of your American friends (namely Bess and George). Because of that, I just didn't call them.

Verbal Diarrhea

That’s a very real illness way too many people suffer from :(
