Our take on 4PM
A single day provides the game’s structure: Caroline moves through several locations, and each scene adds a different form of interaction to a thriller whose outcome responds to major decisions.
What is 4PM?
4PM follows Caroline Wells through a difficult day that begins in a messy flat after a hangover, with city sounds and police sirens outside.
The game moves her through several locations, with each scene using its own form of interaction to build a larger thriller narrative. Decisions made during the day affect the ending. Its presentation favors cinematic audio-visual style and a linear story structure over reflex challenges or complex systems: there is no inventory, health display, or leveling. The experience focuses on Caroline’s perspective while engaging with dark humor, believable situations, and major personal choices. It is a short interactive story rather than an open-world game, extended puzzle campaign, or 10-hour title. Alcoholism and suicide are among its subjects.
