Horror and cuteness? I don’t know if it can be pulled off, but I’m eager to find out, especially after playing this first taste of Quintus and the Absent Truth. This is high-quality stuff. I was first taken in by the game’s styling and how well it controlled. You wouldn’t THINK anything scary would happen here, but perhaps that’s what makes this scenario work. You’re not being dropped into a dark maze with a flashlight looking for keys, nor are you exploring your family’s hundred-year-old haunted house. It’s a sunny, peaceful day in the suburbs and, from the looks of it, you’re only minutes away from celebrating your daughter’s birthday. But something’s not right...
I’m especially interested how Quintus will be utilized in future chapters, so suffice to say, I can’t wait to see more!
