I've been on a story-heavy kick as of late, and Vertigo has scratched that itch. 

The cinematography is fantastic. Pendulo Studios spent a lot of time crafting nuanced details that helped shape the characters, environment, and narrative that make up this thrilling journey; it left me speculating until the end, in traditional Hitchcock style, which the game draws a lot of its inspiration from.

Cutscenes may require patience and may be difficult to get through due to the sensitive nature of topics, but if you enjoy adventure, exploration, and psychological thrillers, this is a solid experience that will leave you grasping for whatever comes next—the story unfolds with your help in piecing it together from several different perspectives. 

There is diversity in characters and personalities, with scenarios that are understandably dark and twisted. It was a refreshing touch to see options that I'd chosen early on either garner praise or result in subtle consequences.

Vertigo is a unique experience, with QTEs thrown in. It is not heavy on the "gameplay" aspect, but more on the visual storytelling. There are plenty of clever easter eggs if you're a Hitchcock fan. 

All in all, I'd say take the weekend and play it. It'll leave a lasting impression.
It may even inspire you to put quill to paper and visualize your Hitchcockian script or novel, which will inevitably become an obsession, and take a decade to complete.

This plays like a Sega CD FMV game with even worse writing.
