Console Obsession says: "Playing out much like a film, having camera angles, wide-screen shots and even having a similar length in gameplay time to a feature-length film, Virginia is a single-player, first-person mystery where you play as an FBI agent looking for a missing boy and who is also tasked with investigating her fellow colleague. What makes this game unique is that everything is told solely through its animations and sound - there is no dialogue and very little text. Virginia takes inspiration from film and television of the 90s, such as Twin Peaks, The X Files and Silence of the Lambs. Strangely, it also seems to pay homage to Scooby Doo, as the characters in the game have eyes similar to that of the Scooby Doo gang. Anyway, starting out in a bathroom, it shows the main character, Anne Tarver, receiving her FBI badge and then it is straight into the mystery."
