Short Video Game Reviews: Marie's Room

Marie's Room

What: A short story exploration game that puts you in the role of Kelsey, visiting your friend Marie's house to ostensibly get something left in her room. As you explore her room and click on things, you reminisce about how you met twenty years ago. But something is off...

As you find more in her room, you unlock memories and journal entries for the player to read. It's clear that Kelsey and Marie were close, but something happened. What does Kelsey remember? Where is Marie? What happened twenty years ago?

For such a short game--I completed it in less than an hour--this is an engrossing narrative-driven point-and-click that packs a lot into a single room. The room isn't creepy or haunted, just disused: you walk in to a room that's mostly packed away, and Kelsey's memories fill the space, returning it to the sunny poster-bedecked teenage bedroom it once was.

Adding to this is the voice acting: when you click on an object and read Kelsey's reminiscences, those lines are fully voiced, adding depth and emotion. It's not just the written words, but Kelsey's tone, for example, that clue you in, for example, that something deeper is going on here: the balance between warmth and the underlying bitterness when an object reminds Kelsey that she used to go hungry. It's completely playable without sound (and anything voiced is captioned), but I found the game enhanced with the voices on.

In addition to being short (and free!), when you load the game, you'll get a message that says "Marie's Room is a short game, designed to experience in one session. No savegames are supported." You can pause the game, certainly, but there's no saving to close and reopen it. The first time I opened it, I saw this and, not sure I wanted to commit, put off playing for several more months. But I see the reasoning; the emotion and story of the game are more cohesive if you go through it all at once. When I look up playthroughs online, most videos tend to be 40-50 minutes, which is also what it took me to go all the way through, and I didn't feel rushed.

My version came from: Steam

I checked the Steam page for Marie's Room and spotted this! The base game itself is free to play, but I'm curious about this art book. I might get it if it pops up on a Steam sale.

*The texture of the gun looks very strange in some perspectives, I guess it is an error of the 3d model.

just three years after john died, the sons he brutally raised like soldiers and taught to shoot first, ask questions later, straight up adopted a whole angel of the lord into family so completely that all of heaven and hell even knows he’s theirs.

even Mary when she came back got with the assignment and instantly decided Cas was ‘one of her boys’

john winchester would be rolling in his grave (not that we care)
