Games Asylum: "You’ve doubtlessly heard of the phrase ‘running away to join the circus.’ Publisher Daedalic’s latest horror game has an altogether different proposition, based around a former circus worker’s struggle to escape from an illusionary world filled with twisted fun houses, clowns, ghost trains, and an untimely death. It’s very much a case of trying to run away from the circus."
Console Obsession says: "REVEIL is a psychological thriller centred around Walter Thompson, a stage builder in a circus, where his wife and daughter are performers who have mysteriously gone missing. Walter embarks on a journey through various environments connected to his missing family and home, striving to uncover secrets buried deep within his own mind. The game combines puzzles with exploration and is driven by a compelling narrative, featuring psychological elements that create surreal moments."
The indie horror game makes up for its lack of combat with tons of interesting diversions.
Gareth writes: A good narrative adventure that tackles horror, REVEIL doesn’t disappoint, with neat plot twists and an outstanding revelation
