Virginia is a single-player first-person thriller. The game takes place in the last days of summer 1992, the player takes control of Anne Tarver, a graduate FBI special agent assigned to her first case. You investigate the disappearance of a young boy. As a rookie detective, you get a experienced partner, Maria Halperin. Tarver's superiors instruct you to keep a watchful eye on her... The special aspect of Virginia is that in the whole game no word is spoken at all. Instead of dialogue, the story in Virginia is told through the physical performances of its characters. There is not much interaction, you can collect some objects but more or less it fits to the walking simulator categorie. The game needs something around two hours to be finished. The music is wonderful and fits perfectly to the atmosphere of the game. Virginia manages to tell a deeply engaging story about friendship, loyalty, betrayal and identity, without using a single word of dialogue. From my point of view Virginia was a great experience and was worth its price.

This was a great, beautiful little story. One that I'm very glad I bought. But it's 100% dependent on story. The fact that they're even able to tell such a understandable story without a single line of dialouge is hugely impressive

Virginia is a cool cinematic FPS game. The story is intriguing - it's about an investigation of a missing person. I liked the visual style and the atmosphere - everything looks so cartoonish and yet in a way misterious. I loved the music - it's very suitable for this kind of storytelling. I find the cinematic approach really compelling - there are some scenes that look exactly like taken from a thriller movie. These moments are, unfortunatelly, just a few and most of the time it feels a little cliched. What I didn't like is the way you control your character and move the camera - in my opinion the motion blur is too much and makes it kind of slow, it can cause you motion sickness. Also, the game takes not more than 2 hours to complete and there is hardly anything to do besides going through the main story. Sometimes it can get a little boring. In conclusion, I feel like this game has a lot of lost potential and could be far better than what it actually is. But, if you like the movies of David Lynch and don't expect too much, you should give it a try.
