Last night around midnight I decided to give a chance to Viriginia, a game I have had for years in my Xbox game library but have never even started.
First of all, the game has a very unique and beautiful graphical style. It reminded me a lot of the 'minimalism' of Kentucky Route Zero, another game where these 'simple' character designs make the style memorable.
The game has no dialogue, not a single one. It is all expressed visually with the characters expressing their emotions and their 'dialogues' with their bodies or their looks. I found the idea very original and requires the player to pay attention.
That said, the plot is obviously a bit difficult to follow. There are a lot of red herrings that don't lead to much. The last part of the game is even surreal (but in-game motivated).
It is an experience that must be tried, short but unique, at least to be able to say that you played it yourself and not a web reviewer.
