Erica
Erica
Sorti le 19 août 2019, Erica est un thriller interactif en prise de vue réelle développé par FlavourWorks et édité par Sony Interactive Entertainment et FlavourWorks. Disponible sur PC (Microsoft Windows), iOS et PlayStation 4, ce jeu de type point-and-click utilise le moteur Touch Video et propose d'incarner Erica, une jeune femme hantée par le meurtre de son père, afin de dévoiler la vérité derrière cet événement tout en enquêtant sur l'énigme du Manoir Delphi. Les choix du joueur influencent le déroulement de l'histoire à embranchements multiples et mènent à plusieurs fins alternatives, l'interaction avec les indices pouvant se faire via la manette DualShock 4 ou l'application mobile Erica. La bande-son est signée Austin Wintory et le titre est proposé au prix de 9,99 euros, avec une note agrégée de 66,54.
L'accueil critique a été nuancé. DualShockers a salué le fait qu'Erica s'impose comme le meilleur jeu en prise de vue réelle disponible sur consoles, tandis que Gaming Nexus a relevé une histoire conventionnelle mais bien racontée, portée par une interface intuitive et d'excellentes valeurs de production et de jeu d'acteurs. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont apprécié la direction artistique et les techniques de gameplay tactiles, mais ont trouvé l'expérience ennuyeuse, et un avis Steam positif a mentionné de superbes images, un bon son et de bons acteurs, contre un avis négatif regrettant l'absence de sauvegardes distinctes.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Erica stands as the best FMV game available on consoles. »
« Erica tells a boilerplate story—but tells it very well. With a fresh, intuitive interface and some of the best production values and acting ever seen in a video game, Erica feels very much like what it aspires to be—an interactive film. Erica is perhaps an odd experiment, but one well worth experiencing for gamers that enjoy trips off the beaten path. »
« Overall, Erica is a unique undertaking in the FMV world that worked out well and has set new standards for the genre. It brings an engaging story to life with superb acting, and enough interactive choices for the player to make it a cut above the rest in its genre. It does waste time in unnecessary interactions on occasion, but nothing too detrimental to take away from the mystery and intrigue of its narrative. »
« Erica is an interesting game at a budget price that everyone should try if they can. If you have ten dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you might as well experience one of the best FMV games made in recent times instead of blowing it on a few microtransactions or fast food extra value meals. »
« Erica is experimental in design, and because of that, some things just aren’t going to work out as well as you would hope. But despite both its big fault and barely noticeable flaws, Erica is an interesting, immersive and well-realised experience. »
« Erica is an intriguing, admirable experience that those looking for something a little outside of the video game norm will surely latch on to. With an impressive set of performances, a story that’ll have you hooked straight from the off, and meaningful decisions that have a major impact on the game, FMV is making waves all over again. »
« An intriguing multi-choice adventure, Erica does almost nothing new but offers an interesting story and great replayability. »
« Lovers of exciting stories, in other words, should give a chance to Erica's affairs because - believe it - they are worth the ticket price. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Unique artistic direction (live action) and gameplay techniques (touch pad), but other than that it became extremely boring for me and this boredom ruined my experience to the minimum »
« Historia = 7 Personajes = 6 Ambientación = 7 Gráficos = 10 Jugabilidad = 8 Música = 4 Inmersión = 10 Rejugabilidad = 4 »
« Erica offers a compelling interactive horror experience, blending game and movie elements seamlessly. The acting is strong, choices feel meaningful, and the eerie atmosphere keeps players engaged throughout. The main drawback is its short length, which leaves the story feeling a bit rushed. Despite this, the concept is executed well and provides a satisfying, tense experience. Overall, it’s a solid horror title that successfully combines interactivity with cinematic storytelling. »
« It is a movie basically with differing choices. It's like a supermassivegame but the stakes are lower and the game is played by actors and its not animated. Overall a meh game »
« A particular game with a good story and a good atmosphere. It lacks in terms of duration (the game is finished in a short time) even if the quality is good. The ending is not very clear in my opinion »
« played it three times back to back to back while waiting for Mass Effect Legendary Edition »
« Erica is an interactive film video game developed by Flavourworks and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was originally released for the PlayStation 4. »
« Achei o jogo muito interessante, vc praticamente não controla nada, um jogo de escolhas, muito curto e muito interessante, nota: 75/100 »
