I’d give this game a three out of ten, but it objectively gets a six because, in its style, it’s not that bad. The two endings in my opinion are ridiculous. And the design is so stupid that I managed to run into the flashlight as early as the first day, but aThe loading times are alright, the voice acting is questionable, and I don’t think it’s good ambience when you can’t even enter many of the rooms, and the few you can enter might have no reason to be open to you at all. I’m serious when I say you can pick up every pack of cigarettes, for no real reason. I also can’t understand why you can pick up several items and rotate them. Nicole is excruciatingly slow, even if she is „„„running””” with that nauseating head bobbing movement, and don’t even get me started on the walking pace. The bad writing can be noticed in the typos as well, and it shows that English was not the native language for the developers.
The suicide of rachel foster endings plus#
The walking simulator can be completed in under three hours even if you do bother to inspect the hotel from the beginning from bottom to top on the first day, going to places you do not have to (only going to certain places just once throughout the entire story), and the game has some fucking shoddy writing when Irving says you need to still open the last door while there are the entrance doors still locked, which I can understand, plus a door to the ski resort that you never get to open. So I’m just closing this sentence by saying this is a one-time affair that made me feel terrible and angry it didn’t go into potential details about a possible rape that happened between Leonard and Rachel. Interestingly, you can get out of the hotel via an underground tunnel to a church that you will visit near the end of the game for about fifteen minutes in both a positive and a negative connotation, and it will play a role in an investigation (because of course you need to have one), and this pastor also important in the events that happened in the past, while no, Rachel’s ghost is not present in the hotel, even if you grab a mic that can record some sounds (which are likely nothing more than the characters’ mental expression of past mistakes), plus this thing is only going to be useful at one point where you need to find small closet room that has a small box which includes an image, as this will trigger the end of the day (and I forgot to say that the supernatural-like events are also just an expressionistic way of remorse).
Plus in one of the last rooms you get to visit in the hotel called Timberline turns out to be nothing more than his dedicated stalking information on your protagonist’s character, while the whole situation seems to have a bit of ghost story, or haunted house type of deal, but behind the plot, we have Leonard, the father of Nicole, having potentially had a sexual relationship with Rachel (who is admittedly retarded, this term shows up in the game, too), and she has reportedly committed suicide at the age of sixteen while also being nine weeks pregnant, but there is far more than that – I’m intentionally sayin that the game has quite an ambigious story that happened to never show this Irving character (which is a shame, it should have happened), who called the relationship between Leonard and Rachel „pure love” (I can’t make this up…), and then we can also add the fact that the father of Irving and Rachel is a pastor.
The lawyer (Jenkins) who was supposed to work on the sales deal is not around, so she has to inspect the hotel herself, while she also gets constant calls from a guy called Irving who claims to work for the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency for short), but it turns out that he was lying all along, as he was the brother of the character whose name you can find in the game. Nicole Wilson inherits a hotel fron his father, and she gets a letter from the mother of a teenager who mysteriously died in that hotel, asking her to sell it, so she goes from Portland (and no, I can’t remember if it’s the Oregon or the Maine one) to Montana, but meanwhile, a snowstorm forms on the way there, making her get stuck in that hotel for nine days. It’s not going to be as successful as other games in the „genre,” such as Gone Home or What Remains of Edith Finch.
