Unfortunately, a huge storm arrives, cutting off the hotel from the world for several days. After the death of her father, Nicole returns to the hotel to inspect it before selling it. The game's events begin 10 years later, in December 1993. Once the relationship is revealed, the girl jumps off the cliff, and Leonard's wife, Claire Wilson, leaves the place with their daughter Nicole, also 16. Leonard McGrath, owner of Timberline Hotel, a mountain hotel in Lewis and Clark county, Montana, has an affair with the much younger, 16 year old, Rachel Foster, daughter of a Reverend. It was developed by ONE-O-ONE Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment, released in 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Thanks to the publisher for a digital copy of the game for review.The Suicide of Rachel Foster (TSORF for short) is a Psychological Thriller Environmental Narrative Game. I just didn’t care for this presentation of such difficult subject matter. When difficult topics are discussed, they need proactive and careful discourse. It’s not for me, nor do I think many will be pleased with the character’s treatment. I just don’t like the emotional implications of a man having some argument for his actions with a child. In short, things like this do happen in real life, and I don’t think the game’s developer is wrong in telling a story about sexual coercion. I just didn’t want to lose myself in this twisted tale. I think with these sort of narrative-driven games, you need to have a story you can lose yourself in. It’s just not a good sell for me, nor is the gameplay interesting enough to warrant hearing this sort of story. I also don’t care much for the sympathetic view of a grown man who would do this to a child. I hate the treatment of your father’s character as somehow in love with a child.
I review games on a scale of 1-10 The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a 5 for me. The Suicide of Rachel Foster Review Score The question is whether or not they should. It’s pretty sick, but games touch on this stuff all the time. As her tutor, your father takes advantage of a girl with few friends and a rough self-esteem. That’s coercive assault, despite the game’s setting of Montana not having a law for statutory rape that would cover a 16 year old. That’s disgusting by all accounts and when they refer to it in the game as an affair, they’re not really calling it what it is. Trying to work out the ages in your head? Well, when Rachel was 16, your father was in his 40s. Rachel kills herself while pregnant with your character’s father’s child. Stop reading if you don’t want to read about what happens. To address the heinous nature of the story, I’m going to spoil some big plot points below. The real sticking point is the goal of finding out more about what happened to her. Unlike popular narrative-driven games like Coffee Talk (which we have a great review on), this one is pretty bare bones in its offerings.
#THE SUICIDE OF RACHEL FOSTER XBOX SIMULATOR#
The game is strictly a walking simulator with point and click elements. Your friend, Rachel Foster, killed herself and you want to know why. Overall, you play as Nicole, the daugther of the hotel’s manager. The core narrative behind The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a review of a young girl’s tragedy. TW: Suicide, Sexual Assault, Rape, and Death Do they deserve this sort of pedestal with which to investigate their morals and prevalence in our society? How effective is that really in addressing whatever sort of end these means intend to portray? Let’s dive into this The Suicide of Rachel Foster review for some clarity. Suicide is obviously a huge issue, as are the other themes of this game’s narrative. Overall, it’s more of a “why tell this sort of story?” way. I don’t mean this in a “yikes this is scary” way. The heart of the story in The Suicide of Rachel Foster, however, is pretty tough to swallow. I’m not one to turn away from more complicated, complex storylines.
