Letters of Bernard Thorne

最大优势无疑是题材新颖，越南战争中上演美国士兵和韩国护士的跨国禁忌恋，以及战后创伤引发的连锁悲剧。仅凭题材就击败市面90%以上独恐了（尽管结合前作来看，取材一直有点取巧的意思），但剧情和玩法都不太能达到个人预期。 整个剧本的走向都太平铺直叙了，没有任何反转可言，完全不如Love, Sam用一个核心诡计误导玩家来得惊艳。在住宅内完成各项交互同时，以幻觉和回忆的形式穿插激烈的越战场景也是恐游基操了。本作唯一悬念点在于男主在整个流程里怪异行为的动机，即男主心里最深的创伤。而这层创伤说白了，也就是狗血韩剧里的惯用套路（什么车祸癌症治不好啦），虽然它能达到一定催泪效果，但完全在意料之内丧失惊喜感。 说到玩法，本作以异常蹩脚的电动轮椅操作来体现行动不便，发心是好的，但程度做得有些过分了。上次遇到这种令玩家对残障人士感同身受的做法还是在Dahlia View，但那款游戏完全可类比老生化的坦克操作，还没达到令人不适的地步。本作除了第一人称视角受限容易碰撞外，又把与其他物体的碰撞判定设置得很严苛，基本稍有碰撞左右视角就是转不动的。在那段躲避上吊鬼的流程里，本身空间漆黑狭窄就容易碰撞不好转向，又设置了多处安放爬坡的地方逼着频繁转向。同时，又需要你灵活运动来躲避敌人，诸如因为倒车会发出嘟嘟声吸引敌人，所以玩家得把简单的倒车换成小心翼翼缓慢艰难的180°无碰撞转向；又如有的地方又需要你主动倒车发出声响吸引敌人，再急速多次转向走另一条路逃离。打完这段也是感觉能直接免试科目二了，不过不得不承认，蹩脚操作下还要施加弯弯绕绕的追逐战有够刺激。 总之，本作剧情平实，玩法上有不错的关卡设计，但因操作臃肿反而不如前作仅发生在一个房间内显得短小精悍。可惜，这次只能算一般般优秀吧。 P.S.左派的我认为人间大爱，世界大同，人性的光辉终将扫除隔阂、照亮阴霾，深藏于每个人心底的创伤都值得被看见与理解。右派的我认为本作又在借着美国白男扮演恩惠与美德的施予方、韩女扮演接纳方，在打造某种可以被霸权审美消解的安全牌。我觉得两个我好像都没有说错，简直是无药可救了。

I cried at the very end, and I've never cried from a game before. 10/10.

A friend recommended this to me, and I wasn’t prepared for it. It tackles grief and PTSD in a way that feels real and personal, and it hit me harder than I expected. I really appreciate the honest, human message it carries. Go in completely blind. It’s absolutely worth experiencing.

I haven't cried during a game for along time now, but this one brought tears to my eyes! A deeply moving story of loss and moving on. I found this experience to be deeply moving and terrifying at the same time! Please, please, please play this game! You will not regret it!

挺好的一款恐怖游戏，虽然部分环节的设计和交互让我有些难受，但整体来说还行。恐怖桥段的设计依旧厉害，结局的情感爆发也不错 懦弱的伯纳德索恩，他恨自己害死了妻子，恨自己成为了儿子的累赘 但在战场上，他还是救了一位异国他乡的士兵 他足够勇敢，足够善良，却不足以驱散战争带来的后遗症

One of the levels almost took me out of the experience because of the difficulty (that could have just been me being bad at games), but in the end, it didn't. Bernard's story broke my heart in two and made me cry like a little child. I can only say, the few hours I spent playing this instead of sleeping, were definitely worth it.

The story is truly heartbreaking. Loved how it unfolded through the letters, which were very well written, and how the grief and traumas were made visible by the end. :') from, mono

Beautifully done game, The scares got me when it happened but werent too much of the focus as the story. But not complaining, the story was super sad and so well done. Not one detail was neglected it felt like, the ending almost made me cry.
