I really enjoyed this game , the story, the mystery and the plot twist were incredible
the atmosphere and the vibe is so immersive
however ... i hated the normalization of pedophilia and painting it as a love story rather that grooming
i was beyond disgusted when i found out rachel was a minor and not a mistress
it was truly repulsive , but other than that everything else was great
good experience

The Suicide of Rachel Foster is an atmospheric but controversial experience. It succeeds in creating tension and emotional weight through its setting and audio design, but its narrative choices and how it handles delicate themes may not resonate with everyone. It’s best approached as a thought provoking, if flawed, story rather than a traditional game

A slow-paced walking simulator with a heavy and sometimes creepy atmosphere. It takes place in the empty hallways of an abandoned hotel during a blizzard and it felt like exploring the Overlook from The Shining. THAT was my favorite aspect of the experience as the environments and sound design were carefully crafted.

The game deals with tough subjects and doesn't overstay its welcome. I enjoyed it even if the voice acting often sounded a bit too dramatic. Maybe there also was a bit too much ''shock value'' added to some plot elements, making the narrative eventually feel quite clumsy. Don't play this game if you're feeling depressed as it ended up feeling like it lacked sensitivity on certain topics.

Anyway I enjoyed the atmosphere but I wish the story had been told with more subtlety and heart.

Too bad Steam doesn't offer the option to leave a ''mixed'' review.
