This game was very deep, had a lot of meaning behind it. I thought it had more a twist, wasn't the happy ending every one expects. Good Story.
Reviews for "RAPTUS"
*SPOILERS*
This game was one of the very, very, VERY few stories that made me hate the villain - and yes, I see the main character as a villain, you can't blame the voices in your head for your actions. What shocked me is how much I wanted him dead. How unfair I found it that he got to live while his girlfriend, dead by HIS hand, would never breathe again. I felt that him dying - I felt it would be justice. I've never felt that way before.
And then the voices told him to kill himself.. and I found myself rethinking the whole "Does he deserve to die?" question. Am I not more than that? Have I not been following and making heroes of those who refused NOT to kill? Haven't I, myself, always believed in forgiveness? That everyone deserves a second chance?
And when the game put the decision in MY hands... I took a long, long time to decide. And I will never be 100% comfortable with the decision I made.
However, having to click uncertainly so many times just to advance the storyline - that was a bit annoying, at times. Minus points for that.
Really nice game,found it deep,maybe some more interaction could make the game more involving,but it's ok even like this.
For those who are asking,with Raptus the author means a moment of madness where the main character loses his willing in an ansious moment.
At least,if the author is Italian as i guessed :)
Oh it's a game about love? Oh and he's sad, did she die? I wonder how sh- oh god... Did I make him do that?

Hi Benz! :-)
Well the game is intended to leave something "open".
* SPOILERS *
But yep. Essentially, you are the bad guy here! :-)
But in a very and subtle way! :)
Good game could have made it better like get rid of the shimmering when you click and make the text a bit brighter but overall 2.5 stars for music and 1.5 stars for art.
