Thrilling Stories Collection

Owing at least as much to Spellbound as to Vertigo, this does have a Hitchcock feel including a Hitchcockian, or possibly a Bernard Herrmannian, soundtrack. This is story oriented and so is on rails. I was a little put off by constantly playing different characters but it is a good story. Be aware that you must do things in a particular order. I became stuck when I delayed dealing with the cat until after I had dealt with Ed. I had to go back and repeat a portion. Overall, a good story.

I really wanted to like this game, and I did enjoy many elements of the game but nearly every aspect falls flat and feels unfinished. The puzzle mechanics for the Adventure Game aspects are rarely ever challenging and the story feels like an odd joke. **Minor spoilers** the first game features your protagonist taking down a tyrannical government that is actively harming its citizens. This games city has created a utopia there's no crime, no poverty, hardly anything wrong at all, however because a computer that is smarter then humans misunderstood its prime directive of keeping its people happy, there's just a few things that have gone cartoonishly wrong, in ways that don't remotely make sense to the plot. So, the solution to a utopia that has just a few minor problems? Dismantling the whole thing of course! The ending is lacking of all logic and sense, despite trying to be a "smart" game.

I really enjoyed this game - music definitely reminded me of a Hitchcock film. Loved the animation style - and loved the cat most of all 😍 Appears to be one that can be played through a few times, as you have multiple options on how to respond in each situation, which could net different results. Will test this theory in the near future. Highly recommended! ❤️

Despite my concerns due to the weird idea of making a game adaption on Hitchcock's movie, the result is remarkable. The story is gripping, has some nods to the movie but completely standalone. Also might be the best game I played from Pendulo studio, can't wait what they'll do next.

A big step up in game storytelling. Felt really invested once things picked up. Too many loading screens and some slow pacing problems, but they don't detract too much from the overall experience of a true next gen interactive thriller.
