Critic Reviews
Virginia PC Game Review
The digital amalgamation of David Lynch, X-Files and a touch of old school Sierra Police Quest.
76%Virginia Review
If 90's thriller is your bag, Virginia does it magnificently. Loaded with surreal coincidence and unsettling theatrics, its deliciously David Lynch. In another medium, this thing could’ve been great, but its allegiance to film form ultimately restricts its potential as a game.
