*Completed on a PS5.

Great little FMV game. It's very, very linear but I enjoyed the two hours it took to finish it. It tells a horrible post-nuclear bunker story about a man named John who is the last living resident of the bunker.

This game is very simple and largely consists of navigating a cursor and clicking on interactables to progress the story forward. I have a couple of qualms with how this is done; there are QTE's that are very urgent but the cursor moves really slowly. If you're even a touch too far away from the button you have to press with the cursor, you're basically guaranteed to fail. I don't know why this couldn't have been a more traditional QTE with a specific button press. The other qualm is that the cursor is ever present and can kinda get in the way/exist as a distraction atop the footage in scenes that don't require any input from you as the player.

That's it for the review! If you're interested in FMV titles give this one a go. I managed to pick it up for $5 and I'd consider that a steal.
