Night Book is an interactive occult thriller about an online interpreter who is tricked into reading an ancient book that summons a demon into her home. Loralyn works the night shift remotely from her home, live interpreting video calls from English to French and back again. Currently pregnant, with a husband working far away and caring for her mentally ill father, she is desperately trying to keep her family together and safe – but who is she prepared to sacrifice to survive? The fiancé, the baby, her father or herself?
Ironically, Night Book makes a better argument for replaying than ever starting it.
Night Book is a good interactive movie. As a horror film, I may be afraid enough or predictable, but the story works from start to finish. He knows how to hook you from the first moment. In addition, in its playable part, although it is very simple and nothing out of the world, it is effective. It does not bother, it is well integrated and the reaction...
I have nothing against its acting or the fact there isn’t a lot of interactivity in here, but I was beyond annoyed with its clichéd Blumhouse-esque premise and its tiresome visuals. It’s not a very interesting story and I failed to connect with or care about any of its characters.
If you've got the slightest interest in the horror genre, you've already seen what Night Book has to offer. The idea of a full motion video tale with multiple endings is a noble one, but the poor acting and breakneck pace ruin its chances of ever standing out.
Night Book is a good choice for fans of interactive movies, is well played and is very playable. However, it is not scary and its story is very predictable.
