The Works of Mercy
'The Works of Mercy' is a psychological thriller inspired by the classics of the genre. The game’s plot revolves around mysterious killings committed on seemingly random victims. Only this time it’s the player who becomes the murderer. The game tells a story of a personal tragedy and wrecked psyche. When a cryptic tormentor forces the protagonist to kill people in order to save his family, the game’s hero (and the player) is posed with a series of dramatic questions. Who is the tormentor? Why is he so vengeful toward the protagonist’s family? How far do you have to go to satisfy him? How can you justify the killing in the sake of saving someone’s life? And how will you cope with the sense of guilt? Answers to the posed questions can be found in multiple endings playing more than once. The game will leave the gamers with a lasting impression and face them with the question: how much could I sacrifice for my family?

If you hope to understand the meaning of this game.. I will disappoint you. Even after finishing I have the feeling "what was that??". Either main hero was on drugs, he was lying in mental hospital or imagined everything, because of some trauma.
Cheesy lines, senseless choices, colorful flares in some cut-scenes, creepy paintings.. vague ending..
The main reason why I didn't write a negative review is a lack of neutral option.
Because this is not a game you will want to remember.
My playthrough to understand what I mean.
