47. Who Pressed Mute On Uncle Marcus [PS5] - finished Jul 9th, 2025

47. Who Hit Mute On Uncle Marcus
This game is dank lol. Maybe dank is self described. Dank as in a moldy dish rag on a placenta dragon's door hinge. It's a silly flash in the pan that ends way too soon. It doesnt get where it needs to go. Like if someone double dog dared your crush to kiss you. It's like your hearts racing, you dont know what to feel. It sorta was what you imagined, it sorta wasnt and in the end? You dont know what to do but hope for it to extend upon itself and it never does. It's this FMV British comedy soup that is funny at times. But since its basically a 15 minute episode of Ricky Gervais's the office with half the humor and twice the amount to unpack. I personally think it needed more time to get into its footing. It's a clustered up little mess of amusement. Maybe worth 2 dollars. Heres the issue... I paid 4 lol.
So essentially you are Abby. A family outcast who I suppose is close to Uncle Marcus. It doesnt extend into why she is. Uncle Marcus confides in you the details of a big mystery of how he was poisoned by someone in the family. And you are tasked to interrogate a set of family members (aunt, mom, cousins and grandmother) to find evidence. This is not a spoiler because its literally the games title and description in store lol. Once you gather evidence you can hopefully save Uncle Marcus or unviel the truth. Theirs most likely many different endings. The issue is the game is over as fast as it starts. I mostly got this game because I was itching for another game like Erica. Erica is also an fmv. The game is actually camera footage of real humans and actresses and that game was 10/10 incredible and I beat it 3 times it was so engrossing. Like an unraveling hbo max movie. It felt like I was digging into an actual mystery. Shutter Island style. And this game? Its something I imagine would come on adult swim at 3am when everyones off to bed. Something you watch only out of lack of options. It just doesnt have any major unraveling. Its too short. And it's rare I ever say that. But it just is. You cant just put someone at the helm of a 30 minute murder mystery and rush that to that extent. But maybe some will find enjoyment in its novelty.
69/100
