Max Keller rated Real Stories from the Grave: A Date to Keep

Max Keller rated a game 5 years ago
A downloadable game for Windows.

Some really good ideas and presentation here, but it could have been improved in a few ways, mainly these two: 

Visually, it's very reminiscent of Silent Hill. That's not in itself a bad thing, but the imagery just feels very familiar. I would have liked to see it get a little weirder and more inventive.

Also, I didn't really enjoy the shooting. The enemies sometimes die in 1 shot, sometimes 2 or 3, and it isn't quite clear why - getting closer or aiming for the head doesn't seem to make any difference. For me, the shooting often became a distraction from the narrative and the atmosphere.

That said, it was certainly tense and atmospheric, like The Body. I hope to see more entries in the series.
