  If you’re happy to let yourself relax and get lost in an intriguing, dark, sometimes funny and always mysterious narrative, then it’s definitely worth picking up. You won’t be blown away by its rather average graphics, nor will the gameplay engage you in any meaningful way, but if you enjoy a good drama with an air of David Lynch, then give Knee Deep a try.

  An unusual game, Knee Deep is entertaining while it lasts, its offbeat, Twin Peaks-inspired murder mystery taking in some strange twists and turns to reach its unexpected conclusion. Cypress Knee is certainly a place worth visiting.

  Knee Deep takes the traditional narrative adventure and turns it on its head, presenting the action as if it were a stage drama. A few poorly designed mini-games prove to be more of an annoyance than gameplay variation, but the story is strong enough.

  Knee Deep's swampy noir mystery play is one of the most interesting and entertaining ways to frame a game you'll ever see. Just a shame the final act doesn't rise to the humid, neo-gothic heights of the rest.

  6.0

  I’ll never be a We-ist, but I think I’d still have to recommend Knee Deep simply for what Prologue Games was trying to do. However, $19.99 is a steep asking point for such a short game. I might recommend waiting until a sale, but I recommend it nonetheless.

  7.0

  Despite its basic visuals and limited gameplay, Knee Deep’s interesting, well-written story is worth the investment. This game’s strength is in its writing – the snappy dialogue and quirky characters will make you forget its flaws – most of the time. What many may take issue with is its relatively steep price for what is going to be a 4 to 5-hour experience for most players. If you can get past the cost, you’ll enjoy your time in Cypress Knee – just watch out for the gators.
