I really didn't feel like doing this so I just left it; the game itself is in English anyways so it doesn't matter. This is a playthrough of a Detalion's first game, Reah. Released in 1999, it's a game that attempts to take the pre-rendered "slideshow" formula of games like Myst and bring it to the next level, with fully animated 3D panoramas and in-between moving animations linking each one together. While this sounds great in theory, it comes at a cost. Reah, despite being rather short, requires a whopping six discs to contain all of the animation and voices. Even with 6 discs, the animations are considerably compressed, and compression artifacts can be seen nearly constantly. While there is a DVD version of the game, it's quite rare and hard to find. This video is being played on the 6-disc CD version.
