Slide to Play: The Act's story is a light, goofy romantic comedy. You play as a window-washer named Edgar, who's desperately in love with a nurse at the hospital where he works. As you play through the game, you'll try to win her over, while also keeping your lazy brother, who's also your coworker, out of trouble. The story plays out in a series of comic set-pieces that you control by watching the characters' reactions and urging Edgar toward whatever he needs to focus on.
NowGamer - If we rated games on charm alone then The Act would effortlessly walk away with a Five Star Award, no problem. React Entertainment's game is quite simply gorgeous, with the same sort of stunning animation and beautifully drawn visuals that you once found in classic Laserdisc games like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace (both of which are also available on iOS).
Destructoid: "After playing The Act, I think I now know what it feels like to be truly out of touch with your emotions and everyone surrounding you. It’s a frustrating and confusing state to exist within.
Here’s the kicker: I don’t think this is the experience that the developers were trying to make at all."
When one stops to think about it, The Act, a game which had recently been released for the iOS, is a rarity in itself, given the fact that it took nine years to make.
