I'll log Face of the Killer on here once it's been added but considering it's only out today, it might take a few weeks.

Going to use this instead as a forum to collect my thoughts on the series as a whole. It's incredible that although my ratings for each of the games can vary wildly, the inventiveness of these games has only ever increased from entry to entry. The ways in which takes things to the maximalist endpoint in the final entry is something to behold and feels fitting for a series largely critiquing capitalism's approach to wringing every cent out of trends and movements. The series mirrors this by having callbacks to previous entries but in increasingly more horrific and irreverent circumstances until the series devours itself and presents a mish mash of what's come before...up to a point. Again, these games iterate on each other and every time you feel like they've explored every avenue of this concept, things are turned on their head. It's a testament to thecatamites' creativity that he managed to get nine games worth of story from BB the zine detective, and have each of them feel so fresh and without anything else like them in video games.

All that to say, I'm excited to play all of these again when Anthology of the Killer drops next month.
