Review:

You're interrogating a man suspected of the murder of his wife, but you also have other, more complicated goals. Packed with surprises, most of which will prove very confusing if you haven't been reading carefully, and requires learning-by-screwing-up (though there's a built-in explanation for that, of sorts). Some twists toward the end force you to reevaluate what's come before, but not quite as satisfyingly as other games that have pulled similar twists; the pacing doesn't work quite as well. Still, it works well and keeps you guessing.

Rating: ****
