March 2025

Virginia is a narrative masterpiece that, with its cinematic style, wordless storytelling, and editing inspired by David Lynch’s films, creates a mysterious and emotional experience. Using sharp cuts and a powerful soundtrack, the game unfolds a story of control, surveillance, and suppressed truths without a single spoken word. Playing as Anne Tarver, a rookie FBI agent, the player gradually sinks deeper into layers of corruption and conspiracy, where reality and illusion intertwine. Its minimalist visual design enhances the sense of suspense and unease, and the ending, rather than offering clear answers, invites the audience to interpret and reflect.

Since there is no "meh" option, I give this a gentle thumbs up. It's a unique take on the walking sim/interactive story genre considering that there is absolutely no dialogue and the graphics are much more boxy than modern, which I like. However, the story itself is a little convoluted and the last act really falls off leaving you with a lot of head scratching. I do think it's worth getting for fans of the genre just for all of it's unique elements or for achievement hunters as it's an easy 100%, hence the gentle thumbs up. Just note that it's a REALLY short game and only takes a couple of hours max.

I'll give this game a positive review in lieu of a neutral option. Well, I guess this game is certainly art, although I'm not sure if that's a good thing. It's interesting-ish, and the scenic drives through Virginia are nice, but what the hell is going on? Pretty hard to know because there's no dialogue ever. It's hard to tell a story this complex without dialogue, and I'm not sure the game was designed well enough to do that. It's easy enough to follow the basic storyline, but there's all sorts of weird stuff that never gets explained, and then I'm just left in some sort of confused dissatisfaction but also it was kind of interesting? I'm not fully sure what I think about this game. And then, the other huge problem with this game is that it's effectively not a game. It's a movie. No, I'm not one of those whiners who doesn't understand the interactive fiction genre. I mean there's virtually no interactivity in the game. Your objective is unclear at pretty much all times, so the extent of the gameplay is wandering through the scene to find the one interactable object, I guess. There are a handful of non-essential interactions that may later result in an "artistically" vague achievement but certainly don't change anything in the story. But, eh, the game's okay. Just don't go in with big expectations, I guess.

Virginia is a good narrative game where you play as a FBI agent and have to investigate on a missing person case and your partner. The designs are beautiful and the soundtrack is just amazing. the game could have been perfect if the characters could talk. The story is so interesting that I couldn't stop playing until I knew the ending. I highly recommend it!!! 🪶❤️

Incredible 2-hour movie with, in my opinion, one of the best pieces of music in the games that tells a story without even one dialogue.
