After the events of "The Exorcist" at Crowley Manor, the in:THEORY ghost team has gone missing. Working with Charlie, who continues to search for the rest of the team, he has found some suspicious activity at the Boleskine Lodge Practice, home of the famous Dr. Becker. Agreeing to help, you, with Charlie, are waiting in his study for the next appointment but be careful as we snoop around. We may not want to end up as one of his volunteers.

Starting this game off, we jumped right into the story with an introduction video, which was the first of many high-quality videos throughout the game. There were many video cut scenes that were played throughout the game and each of them were seamlessly integrated that there were times we were not sure where they began and ended. The room itself looked superbly creepy.

Charlie the host and Liam the cameraperson, both had a personality which really takes you through the game in an entertaining fashion. Their interactions with one another was a fun show to watch in itself. They helped ease the tension of the game at times with their humorous banter. The hosts were good at nudging us in the right direction if we were stuck but also listened to what we had to say. They would try any suggestions we had without any hesitation.

There was a great variety of puzzles which included searching for items and decoding ciphers. There were some common puzzles that you would recognize if you have done a lot of escape rooms but some of them had a nice twist to them to change it up. A key thing though was that all of the puzzles transitioned well to be played online. Never once did we feel idle or that we had to wait as we watched the GM solve the puzzle for us. Whenever there was information required, they were very quick to display it on the side or show us in a fashion that we were not guessing and what we were looking at.

The Studies of Dr. Becker was a fantastic game overall which had so many high points from the interactions of Charlie and Liam to the high-quality videos that integrated seamless into the story. The characters of Charlie and Liam also played off each other and us which brought some humor and fun as an added bonus. This game reminds me a lot of Simon Pegg’s “Shawn of the Dead” movie with the style of horror and dark humor. This game is offered in person at their location, which you should play if you ever get the chance. Otherwise, this is a great game to play as an online experience (plus you might only be able to enjoy a "nice view" of Liam through the remote version).
