![]() ![]() While some aspects of the path to that truth are a bit predictable, the game remains constantly enjoyable, with a story that satisfied greatly. Eventually, strange things start happening around the hotel, things that cause Nicole to wonder exactly what happened to Rachel and her dad, things that would eventually lead her to the truth. I really enjoyed the phone calls, the conversations the two would have. Her relationship with Irving changes and the two begin to work together, to help her get through this troubling time. As she had never wanted to return to the hotel, mostly because of the memories of her dad and Rachel, the memories of what happened 10 years ago start to flood back and cause Nicole to become angry and upset that she’s had to return to a place she swore she would never return to. The dynamic between the two has some significant growth as Nicole is quite rude to Irving as the game starts. ![]() Thankfully, she makes contact with Irving, who is there to provide assistance to her dilemma of being stuck at the hotel during an intense snowstorm, and also to keep her company, to keep her from being alone. Shortly after inspecting the hotel to ensure it is good enough for her lawyer to start making arrangements to sell, Nicole becomes all too frustrated with the place, due to the bad memories it contains and attempts to leave, stopped due to her car keys mysteriously vanishing. Sure, the hotel is creepy and some of the sound design is superb, but it’s the dialogue between Nicole and Irving, a FEMA agent tasked with aiding you on this journey that will keep your interest during this brief but solid experience. As Nicole heads out to the hotel owned by her family, as she is the sole owner since the passing of both her parents, she’ll uncover a mystery to the truth, even if she desperately doesn’t want to know it.Īs is the case with other narrative-based games about family secrets, and exploring environments that are devoid of other people, it’s the narrative that will keep pushing you through and not the gameplay the game is using to navigate its storytelling. Or, at least, that is the official story. Nicole, the main protagonist, a character you’ll get to know all too well, has lived with the knowledge that her father had an affair with a 16-year-old girl, a young woman who, with child, couldn’t take the pressure in her life and thus committed suicide. ![]() The Suicide of Rachel Foster can certainly deal with some intense topics through its roughly 3-4 hour length. ![]()
