"Dead Reset is a confined, blood-stained, interactive movie with some appealing practical effects and a unique atmosphere. What's there is a very solid FMV game carried by a story that greatly benefits from its leading characters, as well as its superb sound design. But it suffers from frequent freezes and crashes that drastically ruin its pacing, a lack of weight in player decisions and variations in the story responding to them, and an ensemble cast where half the characters are forgettable, and even worse, forgotten within their own narrative."

About

Dear Reader is a puzzle game that turns classic literature into interactive wordplay. You rearrange scrambled passages, fix jumbled lines, and piece together quotes from famous books. The library includes over fifty titles like Pride and Prejudice and The Wizard of Oz, each offering unique challenges. Played solo on Mac or iOS, it focuses on straightforward brain teasers that let you mess around with original text in creative ways. The game stands out for its sheer volume of literary content and clever use of language. Released in 2019 by Local No. 12, it mixes puzzle variety with a reverence for source material. Reviews noted its ability to feel both playful and faithful, with one calling it as confident as a "100-year old classic." It’s a thoughtful pick for players who like word games with a twist of bookish charm.
