Critic Reviews
Night Book Review
Ironically, Night Book makes a better argument for replaying than ever starting it.
35%Night Book Review
If you’ve got the slightest interest in the horror genre, you’ve already seen what Night Book has to offer. The idea of a full motion video tale with multiple endings is a noble one, but the poor acting and breakneck pace ruin its chances of ever standing out.
40%Night Book Review - An Intriguing FMV Curio Filmed During Lockdown
The FMV acting is great, as are the production values but ultimately the story just doesn't hold up. There's simply too much repetition required to uncover everything Night Book has to offer.
