‘Cognition: Episode 2’ Continues the Supernatural Detective Saga On iPad

August 18th, 2013 Wraithkal News

At first glance, Erica Reed may seem like your typical FBI agent, solving crimes by way of standard detective work. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll notice something seemingly supernatural, as touching an object allows Erica a glimpse of the past! In this second episode, time is literally of the essence, as she attempts to thwart the plans of a ruthless serial killer.

Unlike what some of you might think, this (the Cognition saga) is not some crazy science fiction story with a plot that’s completely implausible. It’s just got a supernatural touch, that’s all, and from the look of things, that’s what truly sets it apart from other detective tales. There are plenty of games which let you solve mysteries like Sherlock Holmes or, should you so desire, Nancy Drew. Those tend to rely mostly on rational thinking and deductive reasoning (for the most part) though – hardly anything unique in that, no matter how immersive the story and/or gameplay.

This means recreating entire crime scenes with Erica’s ability, rather than relying on chemistry and other old-fashioned methods is a much-needed breath of fresh air for genre veterans. As for everyone else, well, surely there’s room for a dark and grisly point ‘n’ click mystery on your iPad? In my experience, tapping the screen is far more intuitive and fun, than moving a mouse cursor around, after all.

Cognition: Episode 2 iPad

If you’re ready to jump into the shoes of Erica Reed, Cognition: Episode 2 is available from Apple’s digital boutique for $4, while Episode 1 is on sale for $1, making this the perfect time for newcomers to get on board. What, no iPad? Good thing the series is also on PC and Mac then!

Now we just have to wait for Phoenix Online Studios to port Cognition: Episode 3, and release the fourth. Patience is a virtue, except when there are crimes waiting to be solved and a mystery to unravel!

Whenever a big AAA title claims it'll "innovate with groundbreaking features", it usually turns out to be a snore-fest; one which simply mimics other games (poorly). This is where my interest indie game interest comes from: pick a random title from a pile of these, and chances are you’ll end up with something genuinely unique - often for well less than $60 too.
