Second Thoughts

By far my favorite of the Gestmorph Games catalog with Trikumax probably coming in close second. A psychological horror that puts you in the test chamber of a demented trans-national shadow government organization; presented with a list of prisoners and forced to make choices daily about who lives and who dies. Some experiments have you free people while others make you choose who to execute. You start off with zero knowledge of the individuals other than base stats and learn more about the other subjects as the week goes on. As you're being forced to kill or free them this can have an effect on the player as you come to regret killing or releasing certain people when more information comes to light. Near the end the choices get harder and harder and it'll be entirely up to one's own logic to decide who's more worthy of living, the game never directly outlines who's a 'good' or 'bad' guy and there's no real punishment for player decisions. A really fun experience that's best done blind and can only be done once. I've seen players, myself included, descend into madness upon making self-realizations about just what thought processes and internal logic are being used to make these choices. Constructive criticism? Personally I'd enjoy visual representations of the characters, or at least a Hair/Eye color stat, that and the feature for future experiments to be able to tell what choices one made on previous weeks. Overall amazing game. 10/10, would release serial murderers again.

This game is fascinating. Not only does it make you think about your morals but your preconceptions. Its kinda dark and yeah I guess "slow" but I love the weird games like this. Slowly being given the info you so desperately need to make the "right" choice is horrifying

Can execute a 12 year old, 10/10 game
