A cinematic adventure game
The Isle Tide Hotel is a premium choice-based adventure game from Wales Interactive that makes use of full-motion video to present its storyline rather than making use of computer graphics. Each of your decisions can lead to a different ending, so you can explore the story in various ways.
The Isle Tide Hotel features the award-winning cast from Game of Thrones, The Witcher, and more. These colorful characters must decide whether to sacrifice an innocent teenage girl to their founder, the elusive Dr. Aniston, or help her stay alive and free from the clutches of the mysterious creator.
Choose your own path
The Isle Tide Hotel is quite similar to Late Shift, which is another indie FMV that relies on your actions to spur the story onwards. The gripping storyline leads to seven main endings with 14 possible outcomes. You can also explore a number of side quests, as well. The said quests have their dedicated endings that are different from the main conclusions.
Make sure to think over your decisions carefully as the game features a real-time personality and cult association tracker that takes into account your choices to alter your character’s attitude throughout the lore-heavy plot. Another main technical feature of the game is the in-game character skip menu. It also supports up to 11 languages for the interface and subtitles, while the full audio is available in English.
Narrative-wise, this title features a rich story complete with a comprehensive history and rules of the feature cult. It also has sprawling dialogues that will make you see the same character in a different light. One thing to note about this game is that it requires a significant amount of storage space, demanding at least 14 GB of free space.
Worth the high system requirements
With an intriguing plot presented in a manner that’s reminiscent of a crime-thriller film, The Isle Tide Hotel allows you to enjoy stunning visuals as you try to lead the film toward an ending you believe is right. Its rich narrative and gripping dialogues, delivered by a notable cast, are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. All of these makes the need for a sizable amount of storage space forgivable.
