![]() ![]() They’re both interesting and determined characters that you get to know throughout the five chapters. investigate a gruesome serial killer and it’s a intense ride the whole time. Hidden Agenda follows two characters through a crime thriller that takes turns, has big reveals and keeps players cautious when it comes to making their decisions. Because some of the decisions aren’t meaningful, the story is able to stay more focused and the writers didn’t have to deal with so many branching timelines. I was expecting them to nail it once again, but while the choices didn’t always seem to matter, it didn’t affect the overall quality of the story. Again, this was surprising since Until Dawn dealt with varying dialogue paths and varying timelines. In those instances the choice more determines which topic you’d like to talk about or which question do you want to ask first. Some of them are great, with different tones and seemingly dividing paths you can take in terms of how you want these characters to act and respond to what’s going on around them, but a lot of the time the choices seem useless, as the other option comes up in the conversation anyway. The choices themselves in Hidden Agenda are a mixed bag, which is disappointing given Supermassive’s pedigree. It’s got some good ideas, but a few writing quirks and missteps keep it from being as great as Until Dawn was. It’s set in a dreary New York City, where a serial killer has been captured, but questions quickly arise as to whether he is the actual killer or just a pawn. Hidden Agenda is essentially a long movie, but one that has players making choices for the characters as to how they want to approach different scenarios. Supermassive Games, the developer behind 2015’s Until Dawn, was one of the developers to take the challenge and they’ve put their own unique spin on the party-friendly style of games. With Sony ramping up their Playlink initiative, they’ve recruited some bigger names to try their hand at the new technology.
