the infectious madness of doctor dekker youtube review

Is the murderer Nathan, the lonely young man ensconced in grief due to the loss of his fiancé? Bryce, the strange gravedigger (who constantly gazes over invisible half-moon reading glasses at you, like an unimpressed geography teacher) or perhaps the seductive Marianna who suffers from blackouts? Well, here’s the kicker…the killer is randomly chosen on each play-through and for me it was almost a deal-breaker. The game plays out through several chapters which are split into days, on each day you can choose which patient you’d like to talk to (although you do have to speak to each of them in order to progress) and listen to their stories, making occasional choices for them when they ask you for your advice. The mystery that forms the backbone of the game is that one of Dr Dekker’s patients has seemingly murdered him and you are the replacement therapist who has to not only try to solve his murder but also cure his patients along the way. With The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, despite its plus points, I found myself wearying of the limitations of the genre and couldn’t work out if I was just expecting too much or if I was just burned out from playing too many similar games on the trot. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of FMV games, Wales Interactive have released some thoroughly enjoyable games recently with The Bunker and Late Shift and I also played the mystery game Contradiction which although flawed was an enjoyable experience.
