Did I enjoy Night Book? Yes. Is it a "good" game? Not really. I think that biggest issue for me was the pacing, the game may have benefited more from a slower and longer pace, allowing the players to uncover more lore and information as the time goes by and more scarier things happen to the main character. Night Book has a fair bit of replayability due to the choice tree and dialogue options available to the player, though many of the choices give you very similar outcomes. The game does a fairly decent job at conveying a spooky atmosphere, but the overall presentation is weakened by often using text messaging and the small view through security camera feeds rather than actually following the main character herself. You don't get the full immersion value as you normally would and the attempted jump scares are mostly comedic rather than actually scary. However, the game was fully made during covid lockdown at home, which gives you an interesting perspective on what kind of games you are able to make while having limited resources and the fact that the actors were not able to interact with each other while filming. In the end, If you're an FMV game fan you'll probably still want this, but be aware that it's a very mild recommendation compared to some better titles. Definitely get it at a sale if you do, not at full price.
