The Darkest Files

十分优秀的文字叙事解密游戏，最后完结的致敬花絮出现的时候，更上一层楼。

I found this game very interesting. Looking through the cases and discovering new information felt very engaging, and being able to prove your theories is very satisfying. From a historical aspect, it is very interesting to learn more about the time period and the "smaller scale" things that were happening. The second case in particular actually made me want to cry which is pretty rare for me when consuming media. Not to mention the music and art style are very lovely as well. Despite the subject matter, the game is very cozy. The only cons I'd say are that the way the court segments work can feel a little unfair at times, with some "proof" not being viable despite telling the same information as others. Skill issue? Possibly. My only other criticism is that the game isn't longer, while both cases do take a decent amount of time to complete, I was left wanting to do more by the end of it. Also the twist at the end was weird and pointless and we were for some reason given a choice that seemingly didn't matter, but this is a very minor issue in the grand scheme of the game. Anyway, relative to other indie games it's an 8/10

great game. doesn't hold your hand but still not hard to figure things out. i literally had a pen and paper taking notes. i really enjoy the artwork, too. the cases make you feel good when you solve them, like you're making a difference. highly recommend this game, wish it was longer.

Très bon et beau jeu. Je le recommande chaudement c'est un jeu qui mérite vraiment qu'on le découvre mais je le trouve néanmoins cher pour le contenu proposé. C'est un jeu qui dépeint les horreurs "cachés" de la guerre, ce qui n'est généralement pas dépeint et oublié dans les représentation moderne et le jeu fait honneur à tout ceci. Les enquêtes sont intéressantes et on est vite investi dans les histoires à démêler le vrai du faux, sur ce point 10/10. Quelques bugs pas dérangeant subsistes également.

ein großartiges Spiel mit einem starken historischen Fundament, einer dichten Atmosphäre und einer sehr gelungenen Spielmechanik. Die Fälle sind durchdacht und regen auch nach dem Spiel noch zum nachdenken an. Deshalb hätte ich mir noch mehr davon gewünscht. Das Konzept hat mehr Potenzial als zwei Fälle und ich hoffe, dass künftig weitere DLC´s erscheinen. Schade finde ich, dass die gesprochene Sprache nicht auf Deutsch einstellbar ist. Bei einem Spiel mit diesem deutschen zeitgeschichtlichen Hintergrund wäre das wichtig. Einem 92-jährigen Menschen, der Englisch nicht gelernt hat, die Zeit aber selbst erlebt hat, bleibt dieses Spiel so verschlossen.

Really fun game. the concept is really interesting and engaging. The interrogations are done well, the investigation aspect if pretty neat also. A little limited game play, but the story atmosphere are top notch. The art style has a nice mid-century feel to it, very reminiscent of late 90's and early '00's games. I highly recommend,
