The Matrix meets the XFiles
Peter Wright awakens from a hangover due to the commotion erupting outside his apartment door. Safely peering through his peephole he is witness to a heavily armed S.W.A.T team busting down his neighbors door and taking him away. It seems as though the other neighbors are oblivious to what just happened since none venture out their doors except for one, Peter Wright. He knows what it is like to lose a loved one.
Peter decides to help out his next door neighbor Debbie Oswald find her husband. He begins his journey as a naive tech guy who believes in the system and its ability to protect its citizens. After all he is part of the team which displays government propaganda on the telescreens around the city.
However he will soon find out that things are not as they seem and that big brother is there watching and listening.
As Peter gets closer to uncovering the truth behind Graham Oswalds dissapearance he is putting his life and the lives of those around him in danger. Will his journey end in vain?
I found the main character to be a likeable if somewhat annoying at times. The voice acting was overall competent to a degree. Some of the voice actors were used for two characters and you could tell so that was somewhat distracting.
The dialogue trees were monotonous and you have to exhaust all possible dialogue in order to advance in the game. Luckily you can advance the dialogue without skipping the whole conversation which came in handy.
Camera angles were sometimes tricky and there is no exit shortcut. You must wait and watch the character run from screen to screen.
However all these petty annoyances can be overlooked due to the interesting story line, above par graphics and cinematique cut scenes.
It is a must play for all adventure fans!
