About Transfur Infection:
Gameplay consists of free typing questions and key words to engage each patient in therapeutic conversation. While the wording required to trigger responses can sometimes be finicky, once you have a handle on the game’s logic, figuring out which phrases to focus on becomes second nature. In the times that you find yourself completely stuck, typing in “hint” will give you suggestions on what to ask next, thus you should never be scratching your head for too long. Hints are unlimited, so I suggest using them liberally unless you’re working towards specific achievements, in which case you’ll want to wait until a second or third playthrough to target them. And there’s plenty of room for replayability as the killer changes with each new game. My one and only complaint with the system is that sometimes your question will trigger a response that doesn’t line up at all with what you asked. This doesn’t happen often, but can be a bit confusing when you’re trying to follow a train of thought and end up derailed by a completely unrelated answer. Still, it’s only a mild annoyance compared to the entertainment the characters and story provide. As an FMV title, it all ultimately comes down to the acting, which is excellent and the highlight of the entire game. Not only does each actor totally sell their respective madness to the player, but you’ll find that even the most wicked of the patients will grow on you as you delve into their stories and more intimate thoughts. Toss in a cameo by John Guilor of Contradiction fame, and you’ve got quite the awesome cast.The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker may not be for everyone, but if you’re an ardent FMV junkie, do not miss out on this gem. For those wanting to dabble their toes in the genre, or are just intrigued enough to take a look, it’s definitely worth your while IF you take your time to savor the experience.
