One of the better modern FMV games, worth playing for fans of the genre

It’s actually quite an enjoyable and captivating game. The videos are professionally shot and properly illuminated, and they don’t look cheap. The video sequences flow smoothly into one another, and the screen isn’t interrupted by any annoying menus or controls. (Which helps the immersion in the story). The sound and spoken English was also excellent. The actors were interesting. They performed convincingly and emotionally. So I really enjoyed the execution of the game. The plot was complex. I don’t think I managed to find all the alternative paths or endings. But I enjoyed the game enough. I bought it during a big sale. For that price, it’s a quality piece of entertainment. At full price, the game is maybe a bit short; it could be longer. (But that’s perhaps the only flaw). In my opinion, this is a high-quality British FMV game with solid technical execution and an interesting espionage plot. I recommend it.

Good representation of FMV. <TAB> skip scenes is a nice feature. The acting and plot twists were interesting.

I found the story pretty fine. Nothing too interesting. The soundtrack is good. After getting all the achievements I had 5.1 hrs total so I would say the game can be very short to complete. But that does depend on how fast you can find the endings. In the end it’s an alright game I would say
