The Lovely Bones being about the rape and subsequent murder of a young girl told through her own point of view in the afterlife, I went into The Suicide of Rachel Foster blind thinking it would be similar. If you like walking-simulator mystery games, you will like this game.I’ve had The Suicide of Rachel Foster on my Steam wishlist for quite some time - from the retainer imagery, I immediately got The Lovely Bones vibes from it, which was a book that I thoroughly disliked due to the material yet must admit it was memorably written, handling disturbing topics in a way that has been involuntarily imprinted into my brain. The story wraps up nicely and is quite tragic in the end. The Suicide of Rachel Fosteris a gorgeous-looking game with photo-realistic areas and objects you can interact with. If you enjoyed games like What Remains Of Edith Finch and Firewatch, both of which have a generally short run-time, you will probably enjoy The Suicide of Rachel Foster as well. Since The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a short game, I can only recommend it to people that enjoy games in the genre, as it won’t be for everyone. There are also choices in dialogue during conversations with Irving, that while they seem to give choice, lead to the same destination in the narrative, though may reveal various story beats just based on Nikki’s responses or line of questioning. Since a lot of the game’s story comes out through Nikki’s monologues.
The whole game feels a bit like first-person walking simulation games like What Remains Of Edith Finch and Firewatch. In fact, the Polaroid which you find early on comes in handy later on as some clues are discovered that were once taken with the Polaroid camera. The flashlight was the most useful for me out of the three items, though the other two had their uses. These items can be used by holding ZR once equipped from your D-Pad. Because you are mostly alone, except for the occasional phone call from Irving and his insight into what to do next, the fractured disconnect in the hotel is mildly terrifying.ĭuring the game, you will eventually pick up a few useful objects like a Polaroid camera, a microphone, and a flashlight. The Suicide of Rachel Foster isn’t a horror game, though there are elements of jump scares and suspense as you move quickly through the hotel’s rooms which seem to be haunted by Rachel’s spirit. Your time in the hotel is an eerie atmospheric tale of mystery and intrigue as you unravel the mystery behind Rachel’s death and ultimately uncover a truth that Nichole herself had tried to keep from believing. Throughout the 3 ½ – 4-hour adventure you’ll need to do a variety of tasks from turning on the power after the lights go out, finding some food for Nichole, recovering keys to a music box, and more. In The Suicide of Rachel Foster, you play out the adventure over 10 days. When you pick up an object you can zoom in on the object with ZL and look for clues or a close-up view of the item. You can flip through the floors by pressing L or R. Nichole has a map of the hotel which shows room layouts for the floors along with names of the major rooms. Most of the rooms in the hotel have objects you can interact with using the A-Button. You control Nichole by moving her with the Left-Control stick. Between the pregnancy and all the stress, Rachel supposedly killed herself several years ago and now that you are back at the hotel you begin to unravel the mystery behind Rachel’s death. Early in the game, you find out that Nichole’s father had an affair with Rachel, and had gotten her pregnant.
Nichole gets stuck in a snowstorm in Lewis & Clark, Montana, United States, and has only her thoughts and a helpful FEMA agent named Irving. You play Nichole who recently inherited the family hotel. The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a first-person walking-simulator game.
