Fun game but a bit frustrating. Essentially about clicking the correct dialogue options in a row. I am currently stuck on the factory bombing with Anton, Helene, and Lydia. I got annoyed and knocked them out for the fun of it. I keep getting to the part where we figure out that a factory will be bombed but don't know how to get them to tell me which one. Trying to beat this game without using violence is hard. And now that I didn't use violence, I am being accused by this douche Elias Hall of being part of the Liberation Hall in Chapter 8. Great

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 311: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (8/10) Interrogation: You will be Deceived is an unusually cerebral game that mixes noir aesthetics, political tension, and investigative gameplay into something that feels both grounded and unsettling. It’s a story-driven strategy/management game on the surface—but under the hood, it’s a pointed critique of policing, terrorism, and power. Here, dialogue isn't just flavor—it’s the weapon, the trap, and the mirror. If you're in the mood for something morally thorny, visually striking, and full of tension, this is well worth your time. It’s not perfect, but it is powerful, and it definitely leaves a mark. 🪫 Pros: [*]Interrogations feel tense, personal, and reactive. The core mechanic—questioning suspects using tone, logic, and persistence—feels incredibly well-realized. You're not just clicking the right keywords; you're reading body language, adjusting your approach, juggling suspicion and sympathy. Sometimes you're forced to go soft when you’d rather pressure. Other times, you toe the line between persuasion and abuse. It captures the psychological chess of real interviews in a way few games even attempt. [*]Writing is sharp, heavy, and thematic. The game pulls no punches when discussing systemic inequality, police brutality, radicalization, or state surveillance. The writing rarely strays into melodrama or lecture. It instead trusts you to wrestle with difficult ideas. Characters have believable motivations and conflicting ideologies. You won’t always agree with them, but you’ll understand why they do what they do. [*]Stylized black-and-white visuals hit hard. The stark, sketchy art style reinforces the mood beautifully. It's gritty without being grotesque. The minimalist portraits and bleak backgrounds give the game a haunting, neo-noir vibe that matches the moral ambiguity of your decisions. [*]Decisions feel like they matter—both narratively and strategically. You're not only trying to solve individual cases, but also managing public opinion, your team, and the overarching war on domestic terror. Every decision—who to arrest, what to leak, what to prioritize—has ripple effects. There are multiple endings, and it’s easy to see how you could reach wildly different conclusions depending on your approach. 🪤 Cons: [*]The interrogation mechanics sometimes feel too rigid. While the idea is great, in practice, certain interviews boil down to finding the “correct” script rather than truly responding dynamically. You may fail a segment just because you didn't say something in the precise order the game expected, even if you clearly understood the suspect’s psychology. [*] Later chapters can feel tedious or overly punishing. As the plot ramps up, the difficulty spikes hard. Suspects become harder to read, your resources get stretched thin, and failing even one thread can lead to cascading issues. Instead of feeling tense, it can sometimes feel like you're stumbling through trial-and-error until something sticks. [*]Not a game for people who want “fun.” This is a dark, political game where almost every outcome is bittersweet at best. You're meant to feel complicit, unsure, and uncomfortable. That’s a strength artistically, but it makes the game harder to recommend to someone expecting a traditional detective power fantasy.

Fun and engaging but gets a bit tedious in the last few chapters.

! Long Review Warning ! Mild Spoilers? ! I thought this game looked interesting, and as a fan of detective-esque games, I decided to check it out. I played through all the endings and got all the achievements, so I think I'm ready to have a stance. This game is pretty good, but not perfect by any means. Art: Absolutely amazing! I love the use of rotoscoping with the hand-drawn style. The characters show a decent amount of emotion and personality with limited frames of animation. Fits well into the noir style and sets the mood well. Soundtrack: It's pretty alright. Nothing extremely noteworthy, but fits the game appropriately. Gameplay: There's several sections of gameplay. The highlight is the interrogations, though. The game gives you several options and character "builds", so to speak. I preferred to be a pacifist and use wit and persuasion to pit suspects with opposing ideologies against each other. However, the selection of traits for your character allows for good replayability. I did a more violent playthrough to see the other side of things, and I was happy with the differences between runs. There's five actual endings that you get depending on your play style and allegiances, as well as some other endings that act more as game-over states. There's small management sections where you handle your team's motivation, budget, and popularity with several groups. There's even two puzzle sections where you piece together pictures of evidence. This helps to balance the gameplay between the interrogations. Difficulty: This game has multiple difficulty settings. I played Normal on my first run and Challenge on subsequent runs. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to try the game unless they really want to dive in head-first with the hardest difficulty. For casual players, there's a Visual Novel mode which mostly guides you through the narrative. I didn't play this mode too much, but from what I did experience, I figure you should be able to obtain the endings in that mode as well. My biggest gripe with the game is that it can be really difficult to tell what actions lead to what consequences. This is fine on the initial playthrough, but can be irritating on subsequent playthroughs. I found myself constantly wondering what I said that caused my popularity to shift or my team to lose motivation. There's some in-game assistance you can allocate your budget to, but even if you know that a press release lowered your public popularity, you have no idea why, and it can be really hard to guess. Other than that, the game was a lovely challenge without being frustrating. Story and Characters: The story for the game is fairly interesting. Watching the case my team worked on progress and reach new levels of intensity was very engaging! There were multiple instances that made me continue playing much longer than I should've because I needed to know what would happen next. The characters are fun to examine, too. Your team is who you spend the most time with outside of interrogations, and you can choose to spend time with them to learn more about them. However, the interactions with them are somewhat lackluster. The real fun comes from examining the suspects you interrogate. I found a lot of them very memorable. You get to see their motives, what makes them tick, their backgrounds, their feelings on the world they live in, and more. I think that's what I really loved aside from the detective gameplay. Perhaps this is because I played the game several times, but I felt they were engaging enough to deserve praise regardless. The weak point of the story is the antagonist, plain and simple. I don't want to spoil the game for those who want to play it. Taking the antagonist down is satisfying, but the plans and operations they have make no sense if you think about it too long. It's common sense that the enemy group would've fallen apart immediately had the story not demanded it stay intact simply for the story's sake. That does hurt the impact of the final interrogation, but not enough to make it unsatisfying. The story does change depending on your choices as I stated earlier, and I was happy to see what choices caused what endings to occur. Themes: I felt the narrative never had the "bite" it was going for. A lot of social issues are brought up throughout the game, which led me to think the game was trying to say something. That's what it feels like. However, the commentary feels all over the place, criticizing right-wing, left-wing, and libertarian extremism at the same time. It never dedicates sufficient time to any of these ideologies to say anything meaningful. The biggest message I got from this game was terrorism is bad, which I hope we all know already. I wouldn't be so critical of this if I didn't think it was what the game was going for. It wants to make you ask questions, but doesn't pose any questions worth asking. That doesn't mean the game is bad or that it is uninteresting. It just doesn't handle the issues presented with much nuance. Overall, I recommend any fans of detective-style games and puzzles give this game a try! It's got a good amount of content if you want to see everything, and even if you don't, it's a fun time. I encourage you to experiment and take some of the more wacky traits since that's where a lot of my enjoyment came from after my first playthrough. Nevertheless, try it out! It's pretty good.

An alright game for players who are fans of maxing out Speech in the Fallout games. Nothing mindblowing but a fun change of pace that can be played though fairly quickly and has multiple endings so you can go though again and make different choices. The weird ideology soup of the group you investigate is weird and unrealistic, but if you can look past that, it'll be fun. There's some subtle hints as you play that will lead you to the correct conclusions, so pay attention...
