One particularly dark revelation ratchets up the tension so much that, quite frankly, I was surprised it works as well as it does. Naturally, as one might expect, not everything is as it seems. The disappearance of Emily’s friend seems to be related to the spirit of a woman named Agnes that is said to haunt the town, but the ambiguity about the exact nature of the ghost, and its connection to Emily’s suicide, kept me guessing as to the true nature of the events surrounding Emily’s death. I was most impressed by the way the paranormal and the real are woven together in unexpected ways, yet still manage to remain convincing and coherent. The story is the most crucial aspect of any interactive film, and in this area I Saw Black Clouds succeeds quite well. From there, the protagonist slowly begins to peel back the layers of a dark mystery that Emily had uncovered about her hometown, where ghostly happenings and all-too-tangible tragedy collide. A request by Emily’s mother leads Kristina to discover her late friend’s diary, which references a girl who went missing from a local mental health clinic where Emily was seeking treatment, and suggests that Emily knew what happened to her. I Saw Black Clouds puts players in the role of Kristina, a woman whose friend Emily committed suicide not long ago. There are no puzzles to be solved, but those looking for a cinematic choose-your-own-adventure game with a good script and fine acting will find plenty to keep themselves entertained here.

Where this psychological FMV thriller most stands out is its strong plot coupled with real player agency and high replay value that will keep you coming back in order to uncover as many details as possible.
