"Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back"
I knew I would like this game as soon as I watched the trailer for awhile.
Essentially, this narrative game is about a young woman - Sophie Roy - who works as a maid and becomes entangled in the drama of some hotel guests. Her goal is to do her job (obviously) while Nancy Drew-ing her way around the hotel rooms and figure out what's all the commotion about with the help of one of her coworkers.
I like the vibes of the game, it reminded me somehow of L.A Noire (which a great game btw). I just got disappointed with the animations of the characters they were a little deadpan which destroys the immersion of the game; even the lip-syncing was janky. The plot was interesting, but the ending didn't have a WOW factor to it.
However, I particularly appreciate the fact that most actions you take will have advantages and disadvantages throughout the story. So think carefully about your options!

At first glance, some of the gameplay didn't pique my interest, but holy sh*t, I wasn't expecting to enjoy the entire game.
The gameplay mechanic of having your lightness as your companion throughout the story is such a unique take on video games today. To be honest, some parts of the story continue to confuse me, but it is still a fantastic one. And the idea of making each chapter into a TV show episode is brilliant. I was always interested about the music that would be used at the end of each episode.
Also, I didn't like Alan Wake's voice; there's something about it that makes him sound bored, if not monotone. The rest of the characters, however, have better voice acting.
Throughout the game, I noticed that the majority of the locations to play are 80% forest maps, which becomes tedious after a while. But I'm glad they gave us breaks for it. And some of the enemies are a pain to deal with. They would sometimes just stun-lock me in a corner until I died.
Overall, despite being a 13-year-old game, I still enjoy the story, characters, and atmosphere. Cynthia is such a queen for having to build a bunker for herself; we love that.
