Imaginary Friend Institution

This game was so good! In the beginning I ended up slightly confused over the letter finding but throughout the rest of the game it was an amazing experience! 1000/10 Would recommend! <3

Chapter One Review: I’ve been eagerly awaiting the third instalment of this series, and Chapter One has me hooked already. The story so far is well-paced, and the end of Chapter One had me on the edge of my seat and has left me excited for Chapter Two. I appreciate the attention to detail e.g. small touches like character reflections in mirrors and the variety of outfits available for Annabelle as well as ensuring the story captures the historic perspective and treatment towards patients in mental health institutions. The character designs as a whole are beautifully done, especially the Imaginary Friends. This attention to detail in its design and the clear research that has gone into creating this game creates both a beautifully sad and captivating story simultaneously. That said, there are a few technical issues that need addressing. The most noticeable is the grainy visual quality when Annabelle moves. It doesn’t make the game unplayable, but it does detract from the experience. In addition, I encountered some clothing clipping glitches with Annabelle’s outfits, as well as occasional moments where it's easy to get stuck on objects (particularly at the beginning of the game). There is also moments when the lighting could be improved upon as especially at the beginning of the game, it can be hard to see due to how dark it is. None of these issues ruin the game, but smoothing them out would go a long way in enhancing the visual quality and will be less distracting from the story line. I truly love this series, and I’m excited to see how the story develops. Once Chapter Two releases, I’ll be updating my review.

I have played the game and it is such an underrated gem! Looking forward to seeing the future chapters soon!

idk why i like this game franchise just give me another chapter

Absolutely incredible, would recommend to anyone who hasn´t played yet, along with the previous games. This sequel was amazing, I was excited to play it after the first game came out, and I´m glad I finally got to do it, loved the storytelling, loved the character designs, loved the gameplay. 10/10, can´t wait for chapter 2!

I had no idea there had been another entry to the series but I'm so happy I was able to find and play it. I loved the other two games so much! This entry into the series is a different from the others in a few different ways. The main one is the visual to the characters. The human characters in the first and second game were just silhouettes. I think it added to the uncanny feel to the game and the overall environment and feeling. This game has pretty detailed characters in an anime-style. I think it adds to the uncanny feeling in a completely different way. It's almost like a haunted doll type of look. I actually really like it. So far, the gameplay is really simple. It's mostly been a walking simulator up until this point with a lot of cutscenes, narration and time skips. The first game was mostly minigames, with the second having at least some minigames throughout. There's only really been one so far, with the occasional button press to do some actions. I'm not a huge fan of that kind of gameplay, though I think that will change as I play. Though, I will say, you should go into this one with patience and understanding. It is quite clunky and unoptimized. I was definitely taken out of the story a few times just due to some things. Things like the camera glitching out, the movement being weird and the sometimes awkward voice acting. During a part where a nurse leads you around the asylum, I just... left. I completely walked out of the building and wandered around for a bit. No consequences. But I did find that certain parts of the outsde lag the game out a ton. Though this game gets all of my love just for baby Pooky. 100/10 no notes <3 I really hope the devs go through with chapter 2. I need more of these games please!
