Review: Death Come True (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. 

Note: I'm writing this upfront and in advance; there are spoilers in this review. The game itself has a little clip at the start asking that people don't spoil the experience, but it's absolutely impossible to talk about this game without discussing plot points. And let's be clear here. This game doesn't have a Sixth Sense-like twist such that knowing it in advance would ruin the experience for you. In fact, for a game that bears a strong tonal resonance similar to Christopher Nolan's classic film, Memento, it's a little strange that the developer would want to undermine their work by framing it as a narrative of cheap twists that can be "spoiled."
