Press Quotes
“‘Was the accused a callous adulteress, drunkard and liar, or a victim of sexist expectations?’ the game’s developer asked. It’s quite a question. Good luck answering it.”
– Nathan Grayson (Kotaku)
“I had an eerie feeling about hearing the actual words of someone long gone.”
– Stephanie Chan (VentureBeat)
“The Black Widow is an interesting way to experience that story through Louisa’s words: coaxing out information a few sentences at a time, and listening carefully for a new direction to explore.”
– Christopher Livingston (PC Gamer)
“As someone who has seen every Forensic Files ever made, this sounds really interesting to me.”
– Jared Nelson (TouchArcade)
“The Black Widow is an excellent example for institutions, governments and archives in how modern tales can be told.”
