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 is 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.

Pretty fun with solid mechanics, and I applaud any game willing to engage with the ideologies present here. However I do think the writing on the last stretch of the game can come off as clumsy and the endings are unsatisfying.

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 Lynda. 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 Front in Chapter 8. Great

Great concept. I wish the devs made a sequel or a spin-off with the core mechanics of this game.
