I just finished playing VETO, and wow, what a ride. The atmosphere is genuinely chilling, you can feel the dread of the characters. And also Ellen's frustration trying to deal with her flatmates. The setting is very intriguing — dystopian city, and yet life goes on in the apartment. It creates tension, like asking yourself when would something go horribly wrong.
The horror is subtle in a way that creeps up on you with the psychological aspect of the characters mental states. The visuals do a lot in this regard. I love the style, so unique yet fitting for the story at hand! It's what drew me to the VN and is still my favourite part.
The gameplay is nice. I got a bit frustrated on *that working on the computer* scene. I'm still not sure how I actually progressed there (although I successfully did somehow :D). I liked the card game. Here I was writing down all the cards the flatmate used in attempt to beat him. I don't know if I could influence the outcome of the card game but it was a fun exercise never the less.
Overall, VETO is such a unique experience. It’s got an incredible mix of eerie storytelling, memorable characters, and cool art style. If you’re into psychological horror, give it a shot. It's short but it keeps you engaged.
