Worse, that’s just the start of his troubles.
Karaki wakes up in a (rather lavish) hotel with no memory whatsoever, but quickly discovers a passed out girl in his bath (played by Kuriyama Chiaki), and there’s a police officer wrapping on his door. The story follows Karaki Makoto, played by Hongō Kongo. Now, with Death Come True, Kodaka has played with the FMV genre to craft a highly tuned noirish thriller that features one truly poignant decision to make right at the end. A senior creative on Clock Tower 3 (to this day the most intellectually fascinating stalker horror game), Kodaka then penned the scenarios for a pile of Jake Hunter titles, before stamping himself on the industry with the endlessly stylish, vividly intellectual Danganronpa series. Kodaka Kazutaka is a unique talent in the games industry, in that he’s able to take a variety of fairly simple thriller/mystery concepts and spin them into stories and experiences that stay with you well after you’ve finished playing. In fact, for a game that bears a strong tonal resonance similar to Christopher Nolan’s classic film, Memento, it’s a little strange that the developer would want to undermine their work by framing it as a narrative of cheap twists that can be “spoiled.” Nonetheless, if you’re not interested in reading a discussion of a narrative game’s narrative before playing the game, this paragraph right here is the warning I’m giving you to absolve myself from feeling any guilt if you feel like I’ve “ruined” the game on you.
This game doesn’t have a Sixth Sense-like twist such that knowing it in advance would ruin the experience for you. The game itself has a little clip at the start asking that people don’t spoil the experience, but it’s absolutely impossible to talk about this game without discussing plot points. Note: I’m writing this upfront and in advance there are spoilers in this review.
