4pm is unsuccessful on both a narrative and interactive level.
MMOHut, "May 18th will not only see the launch of Runes of Magic: Chapter III, it will also see the launch of Square Enix’s new F2P MMORPG, Fantasy Earth Zero..."
Gary Hartley Writes: It’s almost impossible to defend this newly-fledged “interactive fiction” genre that the likes of Dear Esther have bestowed upon us when the case material you have to work with is as shallow and vapid as 4PM. Almost everything it advocates feels like a vain copysheet that works off the assumption that wrapping your game up in art-house pretentiousness is a sly shortcut to critical acclaim.
4PM is a game that reaches far beyond its grasp, attempting to build an evocative story driven game but simply fails to deliver.
