Get Even

About

Get Even throws you into the fractured psyche of a black-ops soldier with a shattered past. You control Black, a mercenary who wakes up in a decaying asylum under the watch of a voice called Red. Using a mind-bending headset, you relive fragmented memories as both a passive observer and active participant. Shoot through surreal mental landscapes, solve environmental puzzles, and confront twisted versions of your own history. The line between combat and exploration blurs as you piece together a rescue mission gone wrong, a girl with a bomb, and the secrets buried in your own skull. The game’s trippy narrative structure and split-screen memory mechanics set it apart from typical action games. While some players praised its originality on release, others found its pacing uneven and combat repetitive. With a Metacritic score hovering around 65, it remains a polarizing experiment in psychological storytelling. The asylum setting and voice-driven mystery attract fans of cerebral thrillers, even if the execution sometimes stumbles. Shorter playtime and a clear story progression keep it from dragging, making it a risk worth taking for curious newcomers.

Storyline

Black - an ice-cold mercenary and hired gun - awakes in a mysterious old asylum with no memory of his past. Under the guidance of his anonymous captor, ‘Red’, Black embarks on a form of treatment, facilitated by a unique technology - a headset that allows the user to relive their memories and experience them again in the present. And so Black tries to remember. With the help of the ‘Pandora’ headset, he travels into the depths of his own mind to explore the truth behind the only thing he can remember: the rescue attempt of a teenage girl with a bomb strapped to her chest.
