Features Featured article The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a 2020 adventure video game developed by One-O-One Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment. It focuses on Nicole Wilson returning to her family's hotel ten years after she and her mother left, once her father's affair with the teenaged Rachel Foster was discovered, who then killed herself while pregnant. Trapped in the hotel due to a snowstorm, Nicole seeks to uncover the mystery of Rachel's suicide. Borne out of the studio's desire to create a horror game relying on suspense over monsters, it was set in a hotel to elicit fear and claustrophobia in players. The developers sought professional advice to portray topics like child sexual abuse and suicide compassionately. Released on Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, the game received mixed reviews. The handling of child sexual abuse and suicide was heavily criticized, particularly over an interactive suicide attempt. A sequel, The Fading of Nicole Wilson, is set to be released in 2025.
