In the first 30 minutes of Viviette, I have to put my Switch down. The tension fraught by this darkened house, lit slightly by the lantern in my character’s hand, is almost too much to bear. The music is ramping up and something, or someone, is going to come and kill me. I can feel it in my bones and the anticipation of their arrival is giving me goosebumps from my wrists to my shoulders. The scene reaches its crescendo when the being finally does appear and attacks me.
I’m equal parts giddy and squirrely as I run away from the monster. It’s a great scare and I can’t wait to see what else Viviette has in store for me. Turns out, that one moment is about all this game has to offer.
