I was drawn in from the opening scene and not once did it lose my interest. Well, maybe not right *now*, but you know, in better circumstances. If I saw this in theaters, I would be a happy man. And my opinion is that it is an engaging and very competent production. I haven’t seen every possible dead end or checked out the behind the scenes stuff yet, but I’ve seen enough to give an informed opinion. I can’t help but feel it might be a little overpriced for what it is, but if you check it out, you should definitely be more in a “buying a bluray” mindset than a “buying a game” one. This is not a wacky mystery adventure, it’s a straight up film, and a pretty grounded one at that.
I only say this to keep expectations in check. I was lead to believe from early marketing this would be a more involved whodunnit scenario, which I’ll just tell you right now, it is not that. This is Kodaka clearly experimenting with condensing his style into something more compact and accessible to general audiences and I think it largely works. You can get through the entire story in about three hours, I managed to do it in two sittings on a single relatively busy day. This is basically a film that has a few sporadic choices, pretty much anything but the correct choice will lead to death and rewind. I’m not exactly sure why mobile was the goal, because the production values fit right in on a bigger display. I played it on Switch, because I’m not a fucking casual. If you’re unaware, Death Come True is an FMV (that’s full-motion video for anyone not old enough to remember the Sega CD) game primarily developed for mobile platforms. Don’t really give a fuck about word count on this one, just gonna say my piece and bounce.

A few non-spoilery thoughts and then a full spoilers section. So I just finished Death Come True, Kodaka’s latest project and I thought I would share some thoughts briefly.
