The precise consequences of your choices are rarely made clear and we found ourselves wanting a Telltale-style ‘Marianna will remember that’ pop-up. Is this B-movie shlock or serious psychological horror? Should I try to offer these disturbed people genuine advice or assume the inappropriate sleazeball role the questions push me towards? It’s difficult to know what type of game you’re playing, and the actors seemingly shared that confusion. Which wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if the game could settle on a tone, but it flits between naturalism and moustache-twirling theatrics. The intimacy of the camera on the psychiatrist’s couch magnifies every inflection, subtle or otherwise, and you get the sense some actors are accustomed to projecting to the back row rather than having the lens in their face. Mechanics aside, FMV games live or die on the strength and coherency of the performances, and here results are mixed. The touchscreen is fully supported, although icons and text are a tad too small to select consistently with a finger.Īs with the patients on Doctor Dekker’s books, the game has issues. Case evidence (documents and photos) periodically appears for you to cross-reference and there’s a hint button if you’re completely lost. Following specific branches reveals new options and important information is automatically noted in a journal on the right D-button.
You cycle between patients at will with ‘L’ and ‘R’ and browse possible questions from a list. It’s your job to prod their tortured psyches and unravel the mystery behind The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker.

Each patient is a potential suspect and the police are apparently happy to let you play detective while your patients pay through the nose for your professional services. You are the replacement psychiatrist for the eponymous Doctor Dekker following his gruesome murder in the very office you now occupy. Its next foray into the genre comes from D’Avekki Studios, and this time you’ll need a clipboard, your best Freudian accent and plenty of patience. With The Bunker and Late Shift both under its publishing belt, Wales Interactive has some strong FMV games on Switch.
