Hidden Agenda Review Thread

By Adam Go To PostWhat kinda game is this?Psychological thriller I guess? It’s supposed to be in the same universe as Until Dawn or something like that.
Some interesting bits:
Hidden Agenda follows the efforts of homicide detective Rebecca Marney (and a few colleagues) to track down and apprehend The Trapper, a serial killer with a penchant for rigging victims with deadly boobytraps. Like Until Dawn, players shape Marney's investigation via difficult choices and quick-time events, the results of which ripple throughout the branching narrative. Unlike Until Dawn, however, Supermassive has distilled the experience down to just the storytelling. You don't directly control characters or explore environments at your leisure. In fact, you won't even touch your controller after the game begins.
All of your interactions – and those of up to five friends – are handled via Hidden Agenda's free companion app. The simple interface allows you to manipulate your own individual cursor on the television screen by dragging a finger across your phone screen to answer questions, activate timed events, and search for hidden objects at predesignated moments. The app also offers up information such as character bios and decision recaps as the story progresses. The system works surprisingly well, and provides a satisfying amount of agency over the story – provided your phone battery can handle it; I had to plug mine in well before the credits rolled.

I think you have this one confused with The Inpatient.
Seems like a good small game to play with friends at a good price. I hope though that SuperMassive will get a bigger budget next time and do something as ambicious as Until Dawn.
Will it be fun with just 2 people? My GF and I are really interested, but we don't have many friends that would come over and play with us.
Had never heard about this game before, seems very interesting. Looks like a great game to play with my fiancée. The graphics looks wonderful.

Playing the game requires you to download the free companion app on your phone or tablet, and if you have up to five other friends ready to play with you, your whole group can work together to solve the mystery together
It does seem like you can play alone I think?
