    Other than the aforementioned problems with the doll-finding puzzles and the frame rate hiccups, this is an intriguing game. Sorrowvirus explores the endless death-and-rebirth cycle of poor Wyatt, with each successful playthrough shifting the dialogue, the information learned, and the very look of his personal Purgatory, all underscored by an incredibly haunting melody.

    It combines an intriguing narrative with an amazing world that you’ll want to spend some time in. I’m not wholly convinced about the decision to not be able to save after each playthrough, because you take the choice away from the player to dip in and out; I really don’t think it benefits the gameplay in any way.
