To give Her Interactive credit though, the story is the strength of the game and it comes full circle during the final third. Until the story gets going, you’ll need to sit through long character dialogues and minigames. Although many of my friends loved Raid, I hated it for the principle reason that a single round could take upwards of twenty minutes to complete it’s one clear example where it feels like the game-makers are just trying to pass time until the story has been set up for the final part of the game. For others though (as it was for myself), these chores and minigames can feel like another distraction from the mystery at hand. While I didn’t enjoy a lot of the minigames, I did love Monster, a game where you can play as three wolves who need to ‘consume’ as many sheep in the paddock without detection. For some, they are likely to be a pleasant pastime during the lulls in the story. Similarly, there are a lot of chores and puzzles/mini-games. Most of it is background and becomes relevant later on in the game but, until the connection becomes obvious, there’s a lot of tiresome scrolling through chunks of ostensibly pointless text. The main problem is though that these conversations are very long and, simply, are not very interesting. In regards to the suspects, there is so (very) much dialogue and character interaction with them each character’s background is very thoroughly laid out and their motivations are clearly examined in adjoining plot threads. Thus, for the first two-thirds of the game, the focus is principally on the suspects and puzzles which, for the most part, are a hit and miss. While Nancy does witness the monster on a few occasions, these sightings are primarily during the latter part of the game. There are long periods where almost nothing happens, with Nancy primarily going around the large and expansive castle, chatting with suspects and playing games with them. Although the game’s concept is interesting, this game moves very slowly. The first time I played this game, I found it to be extremely dull. It’s up to Nancy to find out what, or who, is behind the monsters’ sightings before the monster claims another victim. The monster is believed by the locals to be the same legendary beast who terrorised the castle and its residents during numerous points in history, resulting in the disappearances – and even deaths – of various girls. In this adventure, Nancy visits Castle Finster following a series of monster sightings. Now everyone is frightened by the sights and sounds of something large stumbling through the darkness.I’m going to be the first to admit that this game really comes down to personal taste. According to locals and storytellers, the monster disappeared when it claimed a victim. Search for Suspects and Spy on the MonsterĪ terrifying myth comes alive in Germany! Many years ago a monster stalked the German forest surrounding Castle Finster.
