Greenlight Spotlight is a recurring feature in which we preview, play, and interview the developers of games seeking publication through the Steam Greenlight process. Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller is developed by Phoenix Online Studios and published by Reverb Publishing. A copy of episode one of the game was provided for the purpose of this feature.
Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller is the second labor of love from Phoenix Online Studios. While the team’s first project The Silver Lining was based on the popular King’s Quest property, their second project took an original direction, with Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller being the fruits of their efforts. An Erica Reed Thriller is an all-new point and click crime drama adventure at its core with a psychological twist. Our heroine Erica Reed is an FBI agent working out of Boston armed with a sixth sense. This advanced form of a woman’s intuition allows Erica to interact with objects and see moments from the past. Using basic detective skills, finding and collecting evidence, interviewing individuals, the power of the internet, and her bizarre and unique visions, Erica is tasked with solving crimes and catching murderers.
No one has disabled our HyperJump, so players can expect new games delivered to them at lightspeed this May. Landing on Jump this month are a competitive multiplayer dungeon arcade thriller, another episode of a Game-of-the-Year Winner, a jaunt into a new retro dimension, and more.
Serena Nelson writes: "Love it or hate it, episodic games are here to stay. Especially with regards to crowdfunding games. We've seen a fair number recently have to split their game into two or more parts for one reason or another and there's been a decent amount of backlash against cutting a game up into bite-sized chunks. With the recent announcement of Celestial Tear: Demon's Revenge getting an episodic release I thought now would be a good time to go over the pros and cons for doing this."
I Review the video game known as Cognition An Erica Reed Thriller which also has a Game of the Year Edition. This is just my overall thoughts on the first episode of this season and I have to say for an indie game it is quite awesome but with a few missteps which I cover in this video game review. Enjoy!
I love profiles of Greenlight games. Always good to show some love to these guys!
