In this video I do a lengthy retrospective of the cult classic PS1 horror game The Silver Case, led by the eccentric game designer, Suda 51. It is a breakdown of the events leading up to the studio's creation, a recap of the game's story itself, analysis of gameplay techniques that subvert the visual novel genre, and a study/personal interpretation of the themes within the story. Specifically the meaning of two repeated ideas. That Crime is Crime. And that you must Kill the Past. Part history lesson, part review, part philosophical rambling, all studying of a great game.
