Gamedec vs Heavy Rain
Gamedec
Gamedec is a story-driven CRPG in which you play as a game detective, or “gamedec” that's set in a cyberpunk world where people mostly prefer Virtualia (the virtual world) than the real one (a.k.a. Realium). Similar to a private investigator, your job, when hired, is often to solve problems in the many game worlds in Virtualia, most of which can also be linked to issues in Realium, with your unique set of gamedec tools. There are plenty of decisions to make, people to talk to and professions to pick up as you progress through the storyline, revealing one plot twist after another!I truly can’t sing enough praises for Gamedec. The storytelling, the setting, and the immersion here are nothing short of impressive and I just love that there are so many different ways you can go about doing things. The movement controls can be a bit wonky at times, but that doesn’t take away the fact that this game is as good as they come, and well, if you’re into achievements, you can have fun playing through the story again and again, trying out other dialogue choices and maybe even discovering new story branches that you might have missed in your previous run.
Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain is a compelling, story-driven psychological thriller where you get to assume the role of four different characters, each of them driven by their own personal motives to investigate the mysterious serial killings by a murderer who is known by the media-dubbed moniker the Origami Killer since the only calling card left behind in each murder scene is an origami. Similar to most story-focused games, your every choice and action may dramatically change the resulting narrative due to the consequences that entails.Featuring multiple endings, which ending you'll get is entirely up to you in Heavy Rain. So, if you enjoy a crime thriller, you'll definitely enjoy playing this game.
