What's the time "9:05"

When I played "9:05" by Adam Cadre, the ending of the game really pulled me back in. When going through the game and discovering who you really are, was well put together. Honestly my first go through the hints of the ending or closer to the ending, I didn't guess the end. In my mind though once I discovered the body under the bed, being a murderer was a possibility. Like most interactive fiction games like these, paying attention to certain details and commands are important. Going ahead on my second run I discovered that if you examine the body, the game then gives you a little back story of what actually happened. Yea one has to pay attention to detail, but this game isn't too complicated to play. If you are familiar with these types of games commands come naturally and easy. If it's all new then research is important before playing.

Adam Cadre, who also made "Photopia", which in this game the identity of the characters are hidden, later in the game these identities are revealed. Of course this is use to shock the player to strengthen the plot. He uses this same concept in the game "9:05", as at the beginning the players identity isn't revealed, but certain clues can be shown to find out who you are. For instance, in the beginning you wake up and you hear the phone ringing. On the stand where the phone is, a wallet and keys can be found. When you open the wallet it reveals the players identity. But the truth about what we have done is hidden. This can be discovered once you type the examine command, it tells you the backstory of the dead corpse under the bed, who is the guy who owns the house. Towards the end, the car chase with the cops tells it all, you are a......(play the game to find out). This modern semi detective game has all the right elements that will keep the player invested.
