I am Japanese who speaks English a little, and I love this kind of mistery game. But I have a problem to play this game, because my PC is too poor and I can't play the game with subtitle system. I am not so good at English to understand all native English speaker's conversation, so I desided to make my PC better first. I wonder will changed option be saved or not when I close the game without reaching savepoint. I think not , because I have to change fullscreen mode to window mode everytime I launch it ... but I believe this will be fixed sometime. I wrote this review to tell someone that I love this game's unique concept, thrilling system makes me feel excited, and it is so amazing that I can play it by free. I will keep trying to make my PC better or train my English skill to play this game truly someday!!!
EDIT: I have made a 100% guide for both the main game and the ALIX DLC (link can be found in main guide) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1142352125 Now the review. Amazing game with a great story, It kinda feels like an Escape the Room type game with all of the secrets in the room that aren't apparent at all. The game has 10 endings 1 of those is the "best" ending, needing to find all the secrets and uncover the deeper story. Overall the vibe from the amazing music and the story make this a great game 10/10. EDIT: ALIX DLC Review; An amazing development in the story, great soundtrack and great writing to set tone of the add-on. More hands on choices with this one, and interesting dialogue Other DLC's are readable and give more insight to the story as well as what happens after ALIX's Best ending as well; worth a read if you enjoy the Game and DLC as much as i did

The gameplay in MONITOR is hard to describe but could perhaps be likened to Five Nights combined with a hidden object game. You listen to and observe six guests using six monitors and this helps you put together the overall mystery. I discovered one ending (there are 10) in a very short time but found the experience intriguing enough to begin again. This is exactly what I like to see from a free to play game made by a small dev team, although I'd like to see more in the way of gameplay in any future projects.

You are kept prisoner in a dark room and your only option is to spy on that shady Dolos Pharmaceuticals corporation. The story unfold real-time, you cannot pause. Lots of amazing and twisted outcomes to find if you have an eye for it. Very well done!

Я японец, немного говорю по-английски, и мне нравятся такие загадочные игры. Но у меня проблема с игрой, потому что мой компьютер слишком плохой, и я не могу играть в игру с системой субтитров. Я не настолько хорош в английском, чтобы понимать разговоры всех носителей английского языка, поэтому я решил сначала улучшить свой компьютер. Интересно, сохранится ли измененная опция, когда я закрою игру, не дойдя до точки сохранения. Я думаю, что нет, потому что мне приходится менять полноэкранный режим на оконный каждый раз, когда я запускаю его ... но я считаю, что когда-нибудь это будет исправлено. Я написал этот обзор, чтобы сказать кому-то, что мне нравится уникальная концепция этой игры, захватывающая система, заставляющая меня волноваться, и это настолько потрясающе, что я могу играть в нее бесплатно. Я буду продолжать попытки улучшить свой компьютер или тренировать свой английский, чтобы когда-нибудь по-настоящему играть в эту игру !!!
+good narrative -too power hungry for a simple game -subtitle issue, game not optimized
Maybe a bit less unhealthy than Her Story, but with worse gameplay mechanics. It's just a pain to play.
TBH, even for being free, this.. isn't great. The game's hideous despite being in the unreal engine and making your graphics card run hot. Plot is. Strange? Voice work is the best part, but the game really could use some way to speed things along, and even the day select doesn't make things less tedious. for some endings? I just. Let the game run while I read a book. Because I had nothing else to do after having listened to most of the convos already. The Alix DLC is slightly more interesting than the game itself, but it's also incredibly hideous. + Alix's voice is grating even if Nathan's voice is nice. If I'd recommend playing any of it, I'd recommend playing that? but. Yeah, skip this unless you just want free achievements, and play Unheard instead. Unheard has fast forward, pause, and rewind. + Unheard is just more interesting, AND far prettier.
