I've played so many FMV games and She sees Red is a very creative game. You'll have to play it twice to unravel the whole story and you can play it, even more, to unlock up to 62 different scenes. The story began in a nightclub when a detective arrived to solve the mystery of a murder. The story takes a lot of turns and you have the option to play it the way you want, every choice you make matters to see how the story goes.

In the first playthrough, I had no idea what is going on and why we are doing this, but after finishing it and starting the second one, everything started to make sense, I loved this way of gameplay.

The movie quality is good, you can choose either playing the game with the original language which is Russian, or switch it to English. I played both and they are equally good, of course, the lip-sync wouldn't work for the English voice but it didn't bother me at all. The timed choices sometimes were too quick, especially when you are so into the story then suddenly you need to choose.

Each playthrough is short, it will take you around two hours to finish all endings if you skip the previously seen scenes, however, I don't recommend this if you are after the achievements since some of the scenes has small tweaks which can be skipped and the achievements will not be counted. This is my only con about the game, the rest is very well done.

I don't like gore or violence, the game has many scenes that will make your skin crawl, but looking away when those played worked out for me, I still enjoyed the rest of the game. There is also a partial nudity scene in case someone doesn't like this. The soundtracks of the games add a good suspense atmosphere.

Pros:
+Good story with multiple endings.
+Good acting.
+Good English dubbing. (Original sound is Russian, it is good too)
+Murder mystery.
+Intersting characters.
+Good soundtracks.
+Steam achievements.

Cons:
-Skip scenes option will skip scenes you haven't seen and won't count toward the achievement.

I enjoyed this game so much. Looking forward to play more games from this developer as we miss the good quality of FMV games. I recommend this game to people who enjoy this genre.

i forgot how it was called. i mean stories were about snow white and other famous stories. butthe plot could branch out. you were part of the story and it would read, if you want snow white to do that go to page 9
if you think its better for her to do this instead got to page 15

Hi OhNoes :feena:
Sounds interesting, do you remember the name of the book?

This game reminds me on series of children books when i was a kid. They start from same page but depending on a action you pick book sends you to a different page. After hopping around a while you get to the ending of the choices you picked during reading. This i kinda similar.
p.s. Hi Feena
