Excerpt: "Since there aren’t any people to talk to, the game’s quests, known as “investigations” happen dynamically. You’ll find a page here, a skull there, or dig up a piece of torn clothing. All of which add a note to your journal in the form of clues. These clues all come together once you start to explore the dark world and talk to apparitions who have lost their way. And when you inform them with what you’ve found, can help you learn more about what happened and filling in their blanks. Each character has their own story to tell, or intertwines with others across multiple locations."

Continue Play's Heather Williams takes a look at Blackpowder Games' Betrayer. "Betrayer is not a game that you would expect from the people who helped to create the F.E.A.R. series, but it does just enough right to make you think that they could be on the right path. Perhaps, with a little more refinement to its core systems, a sequel to Betrayer could be something rather special. As it is though, Betrayer is a gorgeous game with plenty of atmosphere – but also a lot of frustration."
