Revealing what their role is in the larger story of Justine would spoil the expansion’s best element: its story.Īmnesia games are famed for having twisting, often shocking tales, and Justine is no different. There are no theatrics to their sudden appearance – they just are.
Shortly after, you’re introduced to the add-on’s main monsters, The Suitors: sometimes comically shanty aberrations who love to just sort of amble into view. It half works.Īlmost immediately, Justine shows itself to be a more abrupt experience, waking you up as the titular hero and asking you to escape from a cell. Where The Dark Descent liked to very slowly extend its claws towards your neck, Justine has no qualms with going straight for the jugular. I think I may have gravely underestimated the depth of Amnesia: Collection when I decided to review all of its games separately.Ĭoming in at just over an hour long (if you know what you’re doing), Amnesia: Justine is easily the most brisk of the bunch, whizzing by and ending without you even realising you’re getting started.
