Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Episode 1: The Hangman (PC game) review



Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller brings the dark horrors of Boston to light. From Phoenix Online Studios, the acclaimed developer behind The Silver Lining, this point-and-click adventure is an engrossing narrative with a truly evocative atmosphere. With story consultation by famed game designer Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight), this is a chilling, thought-provoking mystery following Erica Reed, a Boston-based FBI agent, haunted by the unsolved case of a serial killer who took her brother’s life. With the use of Erica’s post-cognition abilities -- seeing an object’s past with a touch -- players are challenged to unravel a complex tableau of characters, plots, and puzzles over the course of four episodes. A talented cast of voice actors, breathtaking hand-drawn art, an all-star development team (including artist Romano Molenaar), and branching puzzles that have several different paths to solve the mystery, Cognition is an unforgettable adventure game experience.



Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller -- Episode One is now available for download for $9.99 or as part of a Season Pass for $29.99, which includes all four episodes as they are released along with an exclusive Cognition digital comic. The single game and Season Pass can now be purchased at Rain Digital Games, GamersGate, Green Man Gaming, GameFly, and GameStop.


MY REVIEW

I very much enjoyed   episode one of this game.. It is a little different than what I would usually play but it is a fun game so far and I am thinking of buying the season pass.  This game isn't for everyone because there are some blood and gore and language . It is rated M for Mature .

The sound quality is good and voice acting pretty decent. Graphics are pretty good for this kind of game .

It isn't a completely easy game. There are puzzles to solve and episode one will give you a few hours of game play.

I give this 4 out of 5.
