There’s also a subtle, drama-enhancing score that complements key moments nicely. The small but star-studded voice cast does a great job of bringing the story to life, and Dafoe is particularly menacing as the cop. You can pick any of them up and they’ll be added to your inventory in classic point-and-click adventure style, and figuring out how – and when – to deploy them is key to advancing the plot. Of course, you’ve got items scattered around the apartment you can pick up, use, and combine with other objects: things like coffee mugs, a kitchen knife, spoons, the aforementioned desserts, and your cell phone, just to name a few.
Things can get Groundhog Day-levels of dark if you want them to, and it’ll be up to you to see if those are just clever ways you’re allowed to take out frustration when you get stuck, or if they can be used as legitimate ways to move the story forward. But of course, if you do get stuck (which I did once until I stumbled onto a new path by accident), that same one-bedroom flat can feel frustrating too. That confinement sometimes felt comforting as I tried to figure out what to do next and discover why this cop was so hostile, since I knew the answer was in the room somewhere – there were no other locations I could’ve missed something in. You also can’t leave the apartment, as doing so also resets the loop. A few minutes later, though, a cop voiced by Willem Dafoe knocks on the door claiming to have a warrant for your wife’s arrest one wrong move and things go awry fast and the loop starts over. She greets you and offers a dessert she made. That story sees your character, voiced by James McAvoy, walking in the front door of your apartment at the beginning of the game, where your wife, played by Daisy Ridley, is eager to share some news.
