What Makes VITRIOL Stand Out

As the story unfolds, you can find hidden answers within the words and escape between the lines.
The choices you make hold up a mirror to your actions in the real world. Are you guilty of being yourself? It's up to you to find out.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game starts off pretty intriguing, but a bit on the easy side. By chapter 3 though, the difficulty goes through the roof, and theres no hint system. The lack of a hint system in a story based puzzle game is odd. If youre smarter than us, maybe its 5 stars! Note: our previous review complained about progress being lost, apparently that was a bug and it was fixed.
