Night Book

"Night Book is lost in the magnum sea of similar productions and you have plenty of titles to play before jumping on the unfortunate protagonist and her cursed book."

"As much as I wanted Night Book to be good, not even FMV can salvage this otherwise lackluster experience. Despite solid acting performances from the entire cast, it isn&s;t enough to elevate this paint-by-numbers slog to the next level. It&s;s …"

"Night Book is a great example of an FMV game and makes the player believe he is actually watching a movie. Despite delivering everything it sets out to do, the simple and sometimes predictable story leaves a little to be …"

"If you&s;ve got the slightest interest in the horror genre, you&s;ve already seen what Night Book has to offer. The idea of a full motion video tale with multiple endings is a noble one, but the poor acting and breakneck …"

"It&s;ll take you less than an hour to finish one playthrough of Night Book, and the premise is engaging enough that I wanted to see where it was going, however, this isn&s;t a scary game, something anyone wanting to play …"

"‎Night Book is a good interactive movie. As a horror film, I may be afraid enough or predictable, but the story works from start to finish. He knows how to hook you from the first moment. In addition, in its …"

"‎Night Book is a good choice for fans of interactive movies, is well played and is very playable. However, it is not scary and its story is very predictable.‎"

"The story is slight, and possessed Dad – Jim Carver from The Bill for the 30-somethings among you – is more amusing than scary. The constraints of filming during a pandemic are clear – no two people are ever in …"

"If you’ve enjoyed Wales Interactive’s FMVs in the past, then I’m fairly confident in saying you’ll find a lot to like in Night Book. Despite being created in challenging conditions, it comes together with top-notch production values, excellent acting and …"

"Ironically, Night Book makes a better argument for replaying than ever starting it."

"I have nothing against its acting or the fact there isn’t a lot of interactivity in here, but I was beyond annoyed with its clichéd Blumhouse-esque premise and its tiresome visuals. It’s not a very interesting story and I failed …"

"The FMV acting is great, as are the production values but ultimately the story just doesn&s;t hold up. There&s;s simply too much repetition required to uncover everything Night Book has to offer."

"An interesting product from an unusual time in video game history, Night Book displays how creative FMV game makers have had to be over the past 18 months. Using suspenseful music, a fun concept and some pretty ingenious if well …"
