Beckett 2018
- Adventure, Indie
Beckett by The Secret Experiment is a surreal noir. A disturbing story of a missing-persons investigator, hired to find a young man suffering from a mental illness. It is a taste of the alternative - an experience that will make you question what it is to exist. It is a vivid musing on identity, memory and loss. It is unlike anything you will ever play. It wants to offend. Don't let it. Poor, poor Beckett.

Cubed3Adam RileyApr 20188/10Beckett is a surreal experience, but a wonderfully unique take on the point-and-click style adventure that makes the delivery of the gripping story far more digestible for a wider audience.

Rock, Paper, ShotgunJohn WalkerApr 2018It's stuck with me, it invaded my dreams last night, it's impactful like a knife tip is impactful. It's inescapable that at times it's sophomoric, but it's worth it for the more pervasive disturbia that ultimately rules.
