Unfortunately for Nicole, she’s arrived during the state’s worst snowstorm in recent history, her lawyer held back on account of the snow. Shit hit the fan when Rachel discovered she was pregnant, and, as the story goes, that’s when she committed suicide, and Nicole and her mother, Claire, decided to leave Leonard, Montana, and the family hotel behind.ġ0 years later, Nicole returns to the family hotel after both her parents have passed in an effort to sell the property. Having grown up in a small town in Montana, Nicole and Rachel were well-acquainted with each other - even friends despite personal disputes - and word traveled quickly about Nicole’s father, Leonard, and his illicit affair with a child. Players take on the role of Nicole, a young woman whose life had been torn apart by her 50-year-old father’s decision to groom and rape his 16-year-old student, Rachel, 10 years prior to the game’s events. With a pricepoint of $19.99 for a game that can be completed within a few short hours, The Suicide of Rachel Foster asks players to consider the value of its storytelling above the length of the game, unfortunately falling short on both counts. I was unpleasantly surprised.ĭeveloped by ONE-O-ONE GAMES and published by Daedalic Entertainment, The Suicide of Rachel Foster was initially released on Steam back in February and now released for console on September 9. The Lovely Bones being about the rape and subsequent murder of a young girl told through her own point of view in the afterlife, I went into The Suicide of Rachel Foster blind thinking it would be similar. I’ve had The Suicide of Rachel Foster on my Steam wishlist for quite some time - from the retainer imagery, I immediately got The Lovely Bones vibes from it, which was a book that I thoroughly disliked due to the material yet must admit it was memorably written, handling disturbing topics in a way that has been involuntarily imprinted into my brain.
