Ultimately, I grew somewhat bored with Cloud Chamber about halfway through, and as the tiny bits of data trickled past it just didn't feel like enough of a story, or an interesting enough story, to fully fill its ten chapters.

it means we’ll have closure on a great story, which is all too rare in MMOs. Right now, as it stands, Cloud Chamber is an impressively grand experiment that’s well worth your time and money. If this seems up your alley, don’t wait — get into it while the getting is good.

Not all of the acting is perfect, admittedly, and the audio presentation won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but when it works Cloud Chamber is an absorbing, massive, occasionally unsettling, but absolutely compelling experiment in community narrative investigation. It will require dedication and perseverance to enjoy fully, but don’t ignore it, Cloud Chamber is the most innovative slice of interactive storytelling in years.

Cloud Chamber is an interesting gaming experiment that you’ll either love or should not buy under any circumstances. Consider this review a warning more than anything, if you like the sound of a Reddit-like experience where you watch videos telling an ambiguous sci-fi story and then discuss plot theories with other people then go for it. If on the other hand there was something I mentioned that you didn’t like the sound of then steer well clear.

Als interaktiver Mystery-Thriller schlägt sich das Projekt des Kopenhagener Studios Investigate North aber gut – obwohl die Kommentarfunktion etwas umständlich gestaltet wurde. Je tiefer ich in den Wust aus Videoschnipseln und Dokumenten eintauchte, desto interessanter wurde das Forschungsprojekt um bedrohliche Signale, Licht- und Soundphänomene.
