story
44 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in Death Trick: Double Blind is generally well-written and character-driven, featuring endearing and distinct personalities that enrich the narrative. While the main plot is straightforward and some twists are predictable or feel somewhat disjointed, the investigation mechanics and multiple character storylines add depth and replayability. Despite occasional pacing issues and minor flaws, the story's charm and intricate character backgrounds provide a satisfying and immersive mystery experience.
“It's a really fantastic example of how a game can both feel like a proactive investigation with timed stakes (avoiding the traps of games where you just show every suspect every clue, or roadblocking the player until they make a certain deduction) allowing you to feel your investigation matters, while at the same time delivering a superb story!”
“I can tell a lot of love went into building the stories for each of the characters, so it was a lot of fun discovering more about each character's backstory despite them all being suspects.”
“Its interesting dual protagonist approach gave me enough reason to pick up the game, but its endearing characters and intricate storytelling full of twists and turns made me glad that I spent the time.”
“Nothing super fantastic or plot twisting; it is pretty mediocre in my opinion, with the logical flow.”
“There are grammatical flaws (at the time of this review), and the story will have moments where it repeats information you've read before.”
“The story is easy to guess, as it doesn't do a good job of hiding the plot twists.”

85%Death Trick: Double Blind Review (PC)
Death Trick: Double Blind has a solid setting and a strong premise but doesn’t shine when it comes to mechanics. Players have to read quite a bit and then be ready to re-read statements and descriptions to spot inconsistencies and develop theories about the murder. The game’s writing is mostly up to the task but there are some repetitive moments and extra flowery lines. The visual novel structure means gameplay depth and variety are limited. The world and characters are interesting, in terms of both personality and presentation. Death Trick: Double Blind is engaging and fun, as long as players are willing to suspect their disbelief at some crucial moments. Review key provided by the publisher.
