Hardcore Gamer: Soon, players will return to the small town of Cypress Knee when Knee Deep, Act 2: Festival launches this November 3. Developer Prologue Games have even gone the extra step and acquired voice acting for the cast.
Rebeccah Bassell, Analog Addiction. "Released back in July of 2015, the first installment of the mystery -adventure game Knee Deep (entitled: Wonderland) left its players with a true-to-form staple of mysteries: an unexpected twist and resulting cliffhanger. Now, following a few months of eager anticipation, players are invited back to the woebegone town of Cypress Knee, Florida, for Knee Deep Act 2: Festival."
"Knee Deep Act 2: Fesitval was a great time at the theater. Sure, there were definitely moments and small bits that I didn’t particularly enjoy, the story in this is truly one that can carry the whole game. Whether you’re a veteran fan of the murder-mystery genre or someone who simply enjoys solid storytelling, Knee Deep Act 2: Festival is one story that really kills."
Hardcore Gamer: Back in July, a new episodic adventure game hit the scene. Knee Deep, Act 1: Wonderland arrived basically out of nowhere and lured in unsuspecting gamers such as myself. Developed and published by Prologue Games, it shared a distinctive style rather than cribbing off the popular modern adventure framework of Telltale’s titles. Act 1: Wonderland introduced folks to a tiny town in Florida where the apparent suicide of a famous actor named Tag Kern had just taken place. As is common for small towns, this sudden surprising event brought reports of all sorts out of the woodwork.
Knee Deep’s second act is a much-needed face-lift for this three-arc storyline. It packs improved dialogue options, full voice acting and a more satisfying ending that leaves you pumped for the finale. It isn’t perfect by a long shot, but it’s a great step in the right direction
Good to see an improvement but I'm sorry to say that, with so much choice out there, they lost me with the first "act".
