Grab a box of tissues as the Veronica Mars of videogames comes to an end - you’ll probably be bawling like a newborn. This engrossing adventure is set in a small Pacific Northwest town, where teenager Max Caulfield is gifted (or cursed) with the ability to rewind time. Meanwhile, strange natural phenomena heralds impending doom.
In Episode 4: Dark Room, Caulfield’s best friend Chloe is back on her feet, after time- meddling turned her into a paraplegic in the previous episode. However, their investigation into the disappearance of student Rachel Amber turns up grisly secrets and a gruesome twist. Episode 5: Polarized sees Caulfield trying to escape a killer’s clutches and save the town from ecological disaster. The loveable teen is thrust into a David Lynch nightmare.
The big decisions that faced players in previous episode are less frequent in the finale, but the characters of Max and Chloe will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.
