While the central conceit sounds promising as an FMV experience, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker fails to find a consistent tone or fully engage the player in its story. It offers a couple of nice ideas and the odd smile, but if you don’t care about the central mystery, you’re left with madness, and the disparate threads never weave together in a satisfying way.
The two ominous notes of the soundtrack (only a mild exaggeration) are left to supply tension, and with The Bunker and Late Shift showing how the genre can be relevant and entertaining in 2018, it’s hard to recommend this over the alternatives.
Let me start by saying The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker may not be for everyone. In fact, I’m almost certain that if your idea of a great game includes multiple explosions, hand-to-hand combat, and massive bloodshed, this game won’t impress you in the least. Jun 05, 2018 In The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, YOU are a psychiatrist, trying to solve a murder while treating the unusual patients of the recently deceased Doctor Dekker.
I asked just about everything possible about David's funeral from Claire and Bryce and Bryce was stuck on red with no new branches and no new responses available. I was playing without hints because I enjoy finding the keywords no matter how hard they might be but this time I was completely lost. I looked at a hint and it was a question referring to a hooded person. Nobody had said anything about a hooded person and Bryce was the only one whose red and other related branches were dead. Is this a bug? There is no way to deduct that out of thin air.
There are a couple of different ways he can mention the hooded figure but it all stems from his first response to 'hello'. The paper spike response is different to the murder weapon response (see spoiler text below) so it may be that you haven't had that one.hello doctor. I've been thinking about our last session, and i just wanted you to know that i'm not a bad person. I know taking naked photographs is wrong but you don't know what it's like until you face the same temptation. I'm assuming you don't know what it's like.
Do you have an extra hour doctor?if you say no:thank god for that. There's someone else in my hour. A hooded figure. Watching me and following me.
I've followed it too.if you say yes:you're playing games with me doctor. I was going to tell you what i know about the murder weapon but now, well now you'll just have to go without.then if you follow up about the murder weapon:i overheard your assistant earlier. I know about that paper spike. It was sharp. What i really wanted to tell you was there's someone else in my hour. A hooded figure. Watching me and following me.
I've followed it too.Either way, he should mention the hooded figure but it may be that the responses aren't being flagged for follow up so we'll take a look. Thanks for letting us know!
