The game itself is nicely broken into chapters which are essentially each of the days which you’re stranded here – just like in Draugen – with each day offering you a different task such as looking around certain floors or investigating a strange room you spotted the day before. You’re given a map to help with direction and navigation, but it doesn’t tell you where you are (this isn’t Harry Potter), you must use your surroundings in order to find your current location and plan from there – as in real life. If I was to liken this game to one which you may have played previously, I would say it’s like Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch. Unlike Draugen, which I reviewed recently, there’s more of an emphasis on exploration without direction and piecing together the events yourself by reading documents, picking up objects, and talking to your new friend on the phone. The Suicide of Rachel Foster is an interactive narrative adventure game. I can’t imagine what brand that’s based on… Unfortunately, once she steps foot within the desolate and run-down building, the weather takes a turn for the worse, trapping her in the last place she wanted to be right now! However, due to her mother asking that the hotel is sold and proceeds to go to Rachel’s family within her last Will and Testament, Nicole has no choice but to return once more in order to check everything is good to go. If it was up to Nicole, our protagonist and daughter of the above two parents, she would never step foot within the hotel again due to the terrible memories and ghosts within its walls.
Why did you leave in such a hurry and not return until both your mother and father had passed away? It turns out that your father was having an affair with Rachel and made her pregnant, events which led up to her killing herself and tarnishing the family name.
However, this tragic event occurred ten years ago, the day you and your mother left your father behind at his hotel, never to return. The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a game that focuses on, surprising, the suicide of a young girl named Rachel Foster back in 1983. So, without spoiling anything, let’s take a look at the latest game which absorbed me within its world…Īhhh, memories. Despite not being a horror or ‘spooky’ game as such, the game is quite disturbing at times with its creepy atmosphere and sensitive subjects. The Suicide of Rachel Foster may only take around three to four hours to experience, but it’s an experience you’ll not forget.ĭeveloped by One-O-One Games and published by the adventure fans over at Daedalic Entertainment, The Suicide of Rachel Foster is best played at night, on your own, with headphones – something I attempted but gave up on around half-way through. Personally, if a game immerses me and delivers a memorable experience that has me intrigued and entertained throughout, the length doesn’t even factor into my enjoyment and opinion. Some like the fact that they can sit down and absorb the entire experience within a single afternoon and others feel they are too short for the price they’re asking for. Short narrative adventures are hit or miss with most people.
