Quantic Dream Studio is well-known for ambitious projects such as Indigo Prophecy (or Fahrenheit) and Heavy Rain. French developer is particularly fond of dark adventure games, with a large dose of paranormal elements, which often force players to make very complex moral choices. The same is true for Beyond: Two Souls.

Story

The game spans over 15 in-game years telling the story of Jodie Holmes, impersonated and voiced by Ellen Page (an actress nominated for an Oscar for her role in Juno). Since early childhood the main character has been aware of things invisible to others - from her birth she is linked with Aiden, a mysterious entity who has penetrated into our world. Aiden turns out to be not only a burden, causing others to treat Jodie as a freak. The mysterious being is also the key to finding an answer to the perennial question of what lies on “the other side”. The main character’s mentor and tutor is Professor Nathan Dawkins (Willem Dafoe) who tries to help the girl understand the reality around her and explore the world from where Aiden came.

IMHO: David Cage is overrated

A visionary and a masterful storyteller. David Cage, best known for Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, is sporting a venerable status among us, players. Which really makes me think because has he ever made a game, where the plot would make any sense?
