Not a bad way to spend a few hours. This is an interesting little mystery that does a good job of keeping you engaged all the way through. My main gripe is that I wish the game was longer, with more clues to find and more items to interact with in the hotel. The fact that you can't do more in this space with the map you've been given is a missed opportunity, but I still had fun. I also wish the game could be saved manually. My game glitched a couple of times and I had no choice but to go back and start over from the last save point, which was a bit of a headache. Hopefully these things are improved upon in the sequel. Either way, I'm looking forward to it and will definitely be playing.

Admittedly the story leaves a lot to be desired--the twist is not well designed and leaves the player quite confused as to the resolution of the story. Additionally, the ending choices are a bit forced and feel like a stand in for a better thought out conclusion-- in the last 60 seconds of the game the main character loses her mind? It doesn't make sense with the story in general. That said, I think the game is beautifully designed. Exploring the hotel is a lot of fun, and they nailed the suspense of doing so. It's replayable in that you'll definitely be tempted to load back in once done with the story to really explore and see what else there is to see in the hotel. I would almost expect there to be a lot of puzzle searching and solving like in the Resident Evil games, but that opportunity was sadly squandered. Walking around in the game makes you think a lot about the potential for the setting. Great design and detail work there, but you'll likely be disappointed at the lack of depth. Overall I'd recommend if you can buy below the $10 mark, above that I think I'd say no personally given the lack of depth.

TLDR -- This game has left me feeling mixed at the end. Somewhat annoying gameplay but strong story. If you read ominous books and are okay with a bit of a slower moving character and story, including cutscenes, you may enjoy this game. What this game did correctly is the story that it built. It is a game that does not take long to complete, and the story is immersive as much as it is enriching. You truly come to feel the things the main character felt, you start to feel surprised when she is surprised, all the works. The story is well written, and while sure, the subject matter is very touchy, I don't think that the horrible actions made by people in the story are "justified" in the story as some reviews are saying. I don't personally feel that the game portrayed the behaviors of indecent people as okay by any means. Another thing that this game did phenomenally, to the point that I was beyond impressed, is the audio. Sound and voices were very well recorded, very spatially spread out, and executed perfectly. Super huge props to the sound engineering done here -- I quite literally turned around in my chair multiple times to see if my door got opened, lol. What this game needs work on is how the game plays out. Some of the missions are a little hard to understand what to do. On one of the days, you are left without your map, communication device, and no clear idea of what to do next, which took me a long time to figure out where to go -- this made progressing that chapter a roadblock. If you are like me, the type that prefers to not google what to do next in a game and figure it out on your own, that may come a bit difficult in one specific part of the game. The rest of the game is relatively straightforward in what to do or where to go next, as you have a guide. As well as all of that, some of the cutscenes are very long with no possibility to skip. There is sometimes a lot of time between two sentences, leading to unnecessary breaks in the conversational flow. It ends up being a 2 minute conversation taking 5 minutes, which is kind of cumbersome to sit through. The main character also walks and moves incredibly slow -- this also makes exploration in the setting of the game quite cumbersome as well at times when you have to travel longer distances. All in all, if you are okay with more suspense and slower-paced gameplay telling a book-like story, this game is great to buy and play through when it is on sale. I would definitely recommend it for a night that you are indecisive on what to play and want something more relaxed.

A haunting tale of grief, guilt, and redemption The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a deeply atmospheric and emotionally charged narrative game that weaves mystery and melancholy into an unforgettable experience. While it grapples with heavy themes, it does so with a raw honesty that leaves a lasting impression on those who dare to explore its depths. The game places you in the shoes of Nicole, who returns to her family’s remote Montana hotel after her parents’ death to tie up loose ends. What begins as a straightforward trip to finalise an inheritance quickly becomes a chilling journey into the past. The story unravels piece by piece, with every step through the eerily beautiful and snowbound hotel uncovering more of the dark truths about Nicole’s family, her father’s betrayal, and the titular tragedy of Rachel Foster. The atmosphere is gripping. The isolated setting, combined with the howling winds outside and the haunting silence within the hotel, creates a sense of claustrophobic tension that mirrors Nicole’s emotional state. It feels as though the walls themselves are steeped in the sorrow and secrets of the past. Where the game truly shines is in its storytelling. It doesn’t shy away from difficult or uncomfortable topics, asking players to confront moral ambiguity, grief, and the weight of inherited trauma. The voice acting is stellar, especially the conversations between Nicole and Irving, the FEMA agent who provides her only link to the outside world. Their relationship adds warmth and humanity to the cold, lonely environment, even as it, too, becomes tinged with unease. The gameplay, while simple, serves the story well. Exploring the hotel feels like leafing through the pages of a diary, each room a chapter, each object a clue. The pacing is deliberate, encouraging players to soak in the details and reflect on the gravity of what unfolds. The Suicide of Rachel Foster is not an easy game to digest. Its themes are heavy, and some players may find certain aspects of the story unsettling. But that’s also its strength—it doesn’t flinch from portraying the complexities of human relationships and the long shadows they cast. This game isn’t just about solving a mystery; it’s about understanding the impact of our actions on those around us, even when we’re gone. It’s a poignant, unsettling, and thought-provoking experience that lingers in the mind long after the final credits roll.
