The Suicide of Rachel Foster Is Out Today

HAMBURG, Germany — Feb. 19, 2020 — Daedalic Entertainment has announced that the gripping new narrative adventure game The Suicide of Rachel Foster is out today for PC. Players will find themselves trapped in an isolated and bleak mountain hotel where they must uncover what truly happened to Rachel Foster, a young woman who seemingly took her own life 10 years ago.

This is an intense first-person investigation, where melancholy and nostalgia meld into a thrilling ghost tale; a truly immersive experience that has a multilayered narrative, an ending influenced by player choice and binaural audio to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Players follow Nicole, a young woman driven by her mother’s dying wish to uncover her family's dark past. She finds herself in the dilapidated and abandoned family hotel on a snow-filled mountain. Knowing her own father had a role to play in the downfall of Rachel, Nicole relies on the support of a young FEMA agent to unearth the truth once and for all.
Developer Daniel Azara at ONE-O-ONE GAMES said, “The aim when making The Suicide of Rachel Foster was to inspire gamers to reflect on commonly neglected topics like grief, love, and exasperation. Videogames are a powerful and reflective storytelling medium, and we want to use this platform to raise awareness regarding these topics by including them as elements that add depth to our fictional narrative.”

Thanks Ana!

I just Googled binaural audio and listened to a youtube video about/with it and I don't think I will be able to tell the difference. I'll see when I play the game, which I did already purchase.

I turned to see who was knocking so maybe I CAN tell the difference!

Actually, I do sometimes take my headphones off thinking I'm hearing something, only to find out it was in the game I'm playing. And I have cheap headphones.

I invested in my first "expensive to me" pair of headphones (170 dollars, I know they go way higher) at Christmas time and the difference is crazy from the 15 dollar pair I've had for way over ten years. The knock actually sounded like my wall was coming down on me. It was freaky as heck! Good thing I don't play VR, I'd probably jump out of my skin!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game, TLC

I just can't drum up any enthusiasm myself for a game with "suicide" in the title ....

Well, I've been playing for a few hours now. How the heck does the day change so the game will save and I can get out? I'm finding it tedious!

Also, that binaural thing - doesn't sound any different than any other game I've played!

Finally! Game saved.

Anybody know why you can barely hear Nicole but you can hear Irving just fine? Am I missing something in the controls?
