Video Game Noir

“…a noir murder mystery inspired by film masters like Hitchcock, Kubrick and David Lynch…”

 

“…These are not the concerns of a stoned slacker in some basement somewhere. And they are not the concerns of children themselves. David Cage (the game’s main creator-ed.) has said that Heavy Rain’s story is largely inspired by his own experience as a parent and by his own fears for his children. As both game makers and game players move into middle age and beyond, this is the kind of depth you can hopefully come to expect more often.
No other game in recent memory has forced me to reach for a blanket at 11 a.m. because I am literally shivering in nervous tension. And no single-player game has made me feel as profoundly connected to the outcome of a story I cared about. Mr. Cage and Quantic Dream have put the world on notice that the future of video games may be closer than we thought.” — Seth Schiesel, NY Times
