Pendulo Studios’ Alfred Hitchcock: Vertigo is a fervent experiment in marrying classic suspense with modern interactivity, but the marriage results in an uneven union. The game promises a psychological thrill ride inspired by Hitchcock’s Vertigo - yet quickly diverts into an entirely new narrative that bears only thematic resemblance to the 1958 classic. You step into the fractured mind of writer Ed Miller, surviving a car crash that seemingly claims his wife and daughter - though no evidence of their existence remains. The narrative unfolds through three key perspectives: Ed himself, his cryptic therapist Dr. Lomas and the local sheriff, creating a tense tapestry of unreliability, memory and identity. From a cinematic standpoint, Vertigo shines. Its visual direction emulates Hitchcock’s signature angles and framing, occasionally delivering that spine-tingling sensation of watching a noir thriller in motion. The original score and sound design nod to Bernard Herrmann’s legacy, adding depth and urgency to every scene. Mechanically, however, the game trips over its ambitions. Quick-time events feel stilted and inconsequential, dialogue choices never alter the course of the story and the investigative mechanics are simplistic; rarely requiring more than clicking on obvious hotspots. While the story captivates initially, it falters thanks to awkward animation, poor lip syncing and frequently cringe-inducing dialogue. Ed’s sarcastic tone often feels abrasive rather than charming. Alfred Hitchcock: Vertigo is best approached as a dark, atmospheric interactive novel - less a game, more a moody, twist-driven experience. If you're drawn to psychological mysteries, cinematic pacing and unreliable narration, and don't mind surrendering player agency, it might grip you. But if you crave meaningful choices, polished animation or robust gameplay, you may find this reimagining disappointingly hollow.

There are a couple of nods to Hitchcock's classic movie Vertigo, but this game really has nothing to do with it. Still, I enjoyed playing it. I didn't try to rush and it took me a bit over 13 hours to finish with 26/31 achievements. The controls were a bit odd to figure out at first and some of the dialog options disappeared too quickly if I wasn't paying enough attention, but that's on me for being easily distracted. Overall, I'd recommend this if you enjoy mysteries, kinda dark psychological games, and interactive fiction. The difficulty level is very low and the story is good. Not an unpleasant way to while away a few hours. Sadly, the replayability is basically nil, so the price point may be a little high if you don't get it on sale. 3.5/5 stars

First two hours I had an opinion this game is dull. Also, I didn't like pacing, lack of gameplay and characters animations. But that first two hours. After, the plot captivated me. Really, a wonderful story with unexpected plot twists. As a game, it sucks. But as a TV show - Vertigo is brilliant. I prefer proper combination of gameplay and story parts. But here I would have been preferred just watch. Never regretted playing.

Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo pays homage to Hitchcock’s cinema but does not directly replicate Vertigo’s brilliance. The game successfully recreates a mysterious, psychological atmosphere, but its execution, especially in gameplay, falls short of the film’s masterful impact. While the soundtrack and atmosphere shine, stiff animations and pacing issues hold it back. Would Hitchcock himself approve? Perhaps. But he might also ask for a reshoot.
