Wales Interactive sind vor allem für ihre FMV-Games bekannt - und wagen sich nun erneut an ein neues Genre: Science-Fiction-Survival-Horror. In Dead Reset schlüpfen wir in die Rolle von Cole, einem Chirurgen mit Gedächtnisverlust, der in einem Operationssaal erwacht und sofort mit einer Operation beginnen soll. Täglich grüßt das Murmeltier Schon nach der ersten Interaktion mit der Patientin wird klar: Hier stimmt etwas ganz und gar nicht. Niemand will Cole erklären, was eigentlich vor sich geht, wo wir uns befinden oder was genau operiert werden soll. Un doch fühlt sich alles seltsam vertraut an. Was ist hier passiert? Wales Interactive nehmen sich hier eines der schwierigsten Story-Formate überhaupt vor - und meistern die Herausfordwerung erstaunlich gut. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich Stück für Stpck, verknüpft verschiedene Erzählstränge und belohnt Spielende, die das Spiel mehrfach durchspielen. Wer mehr über die Story erfahren will, muss öfter spielen - und genauz das funktioniert diesmal hervorragend. Immersives Überlebenstraining Wie man es von Wales Interactive kennt, gilt auch hier die Devise: Wähle dein Schicksal und triff kluge Entscheidungen. Jede Entscheidung hat Konsequenzen - und diese lassen sich nicht rückgängig machen. Wem kann man trauen? Welche Handlungen sind moralisch vertretbar? Trotz weniger Räume und Szenenwechsel gelingt es dem Spiel, konstanten Druck und spürbare Spannung aufzubauen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist diesmal die Arbeit der Makeup-und SFX Artists, die einen wirklich beeindruckenden Job abliefern. Ohne zu viel vorwegzunehmen: Gore-Fans kommen hier definitiv auf ihre Kosten. Wem kann man hier noch trauen? Zwar sind die möglichen Enden im Vergleich etwas begrenzt, doch dafür sind die Optionen während des Spiels umso vielfältiger. In kaum einem anderen FMV-Titel hatte man so stark das Gefühl, komplett unterschiedliche Spielinhalte zu erleben - abhängig von Entscheidungen oder davon, mit welchen Nebencharakteren man zusammenarbeitet. Ein neuer Standard Dead Reset setzt für Wales Interactive neue Maßstäbe. Eine dichte Atmosphäre, überzeugende Charaktere und ein Spannungsbogen, der bis zum Schluss hält. Man muss das FMV-Genre mögen - aber wenn man es tut, ist man mit Dead Reset definitiv gut beraten.
