The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker
FMV games have made quite the comeback in the last few years, and The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker adds to the growing library of great titles in the genre. Of course, it’s not a perfect game (what game is?), but the quality of the writing, acting and production all place this murder mystery amid the cream of the FMV crop here on Steam.
Doctor Dekker has been violently murdered by one of his patients. As his replacement at the psychiatric clinic, you are now tasked with investigating his death while helping his patients navigate their various maladies. Toss in a little Cthulhu mythos, and you have a recipe for madness that’s altogether delightful to behold.

I thought you knew what you were doing, Doctor.
Once you find the genres you love, you absolutely can not get enough of them. Looking through pre existing games to see which ones you will most likely like and seeing if more are going to be released. Craving more and more as you become more aware of what makes a good game and a bad game in that specific genre. FMV games are one of those genres I adore but also look into them as it can frequently not work out.
In The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, you come in right after the events of a dramatic event. A psychiatrist by the name of Doctor Dekker was violently murdered in his office by one of his patients. But who? No one knows except the one that did the act. This is where you come in, not as some cop asking them questions but taking Dekker’s spot as a psychiatrist for the same patients he had. The same patients that hides the mysterious killer.

This is the first time I’ve posted a review but this is a new (and imo brilliant) game and I wanted to support it. Originally posted on AdventureGamers.com :
Wow! Just finished it in one sitting (more on that later). What a thrilling, psychedelic ride. That one(?) person could do this is truly impressive. Good puzzles, great storyline and amazing atmosphere. Very innovative.
There were a couple of bold choices made which I’m not sure about. They ended up working for me but may turn some people off.

Aargh! My kingdom! My kingdom for a save system!
This is a really, really interesting little game. The main thing stopping this from being a great little game is the complete and utter lack of a save mechanic.
It’s really not a good thing when a game that lasts well over an hour not only fails to provide so much as an autosave, but almost encourages you to rush the reading of long - though otherwise well-written - passages of text, by not allowing itself to be played over more than one session. I can’t be the only gamer on the planet who thinks they might get in a quick half-hour of gaming before bed; only to find that they’re obliged to stay awake a good hour beyond that, lest they be forced to start from scratch again.
