For a game so well-designed, where you can clearly tell the level of detail that went into designing the hotel and the characters, it’s disappointing. Though the narrative itself is thoroughly enjoyable and very well-executed, and the sound and graphical designs are knockout, some topics are just lacking genuine thoughtfulness. That said, I’ve got some mixed emotions after finishing The Suicide of Rachel Foster.
Because of just how realistic everything looks and feels, this indie title offers a level of realism I haven’t seen in a while from a game of its size. Every aspect of the hotel really drives home that the building is, although not quite haunted, very, very creepy. The hotel is quite large and you’ll have to rely on your memory to find your way around. The level of detail that went into the hotel design is damn impressive and it’s no small feat either. Where The Suicide of Rachel Foster really shines however is with just how great it looks and sounds. Other than that there isn’t too much to keep track of outside of the steady stream of interesting tidbits of information about Nicole’s family and Rachel. Well, that and talking to Irving through the old phone as the only means to move the narrative-driven gameplay forward. You’ll have to walk around, exploring The Timberland, adding items to your inventory, and uncovering the sinister details surrounding Rachel’s death.
