The Novelist asks one central question: can you achieve your dreams without pushing away the people you love? The game focuses on Dan Kaplan, a novelist struggling to write the most important book of his career while trying to be the best husband and father he can be. The Kaplans have come to a remote coastal home for the summer, unaware that they’re sharing the house with a mysterious ghostly presence: you.
If you like purely story driven games, you'll enjoy this.
I've played through this and it's a lovely little interactive story - about 1.5 to 2 hours long. The "gaming" elements - stealthily avoiding the Kaplan family - generates enough tension to keep the experience engaging. It doesn't have a strong amount of replay value despite only experiencing less than half the possible outcomes, as the context of each chapter does not change. More than worth it for the price.
