Wow. I just played the demo and after reading a slew of positive reviews have ordered the game. It's non-linear storyline seems to offer any number of possible outcomes. For instance in the demo, you play through the first scene - your character waking up in a toilet and realising he's murdered someone. You can either bolt out of the door, covered in blood, and risk being caught by the cops – or take the time to methodically clean the bathroom, hide the body and evidence and coolly stroll out of the front door.
Though the scene has to to conclude in a certain way for the story to progress (e.g. the cop finding the body), it seems that what you do in the toilet will impact on future scenes if only in subtle ways – e.g. when playing as the cops, you’ll have an easier job analysing the crime scene if you didn’t clean the place up, and so on.
Does anyone own the full version of the game?
Here’s a little blurb from Amazon…
For no apparent reason, ordinary people are killing total strangers. Although there are no direct links between the murders, they all show the same ritual patterns. Lucas Kane becomes one of these murderers, and haunted by strange visions he must try to keep one step ahead of the police to discover what is happening to him.
Inspector Carla Valenti and Agent Tyler Miles are heading up the investigation. A series of disturbing clues takes them into a world they can only dream of. Meanwhile the early onset of winter paralyses Manhattan in an unbearable grip of snow and cold. Each day the temperature drops as the winter conditions draw over the dark streets of New York.
The final countdown has already begun!
