I bought a batch of these Wales Interactive FMV games a while back and I'm getting them off my backlog before I start my final sprint to my Honkai Star Rail platinum.
They're all mostly forgettable. Aside from Erica (which is not Wales anyway), the only thing I truly remember about any of them was an out-of-nowhere graphic compound fracture in The Bunker.
This one doesn't break any molds or have anything as memorable, but -- and this is juvenile -- the lead Michelle Mylett may have one of the most beautiful faces I've ever seen. If you're gonna spend your time making decisions, there are far worse things to be looking at.

Waste of time. I only played it because I was bored during quarantine
I feel like I got a terrible ending because of one wrong decision that didn't really fit with the rest of the narrative. I'm not sure if there's any way to skip and just redo some choices, though.
That aside, there was some nice production value in this, but the acting was pretty flat.

The Complex is what happens when you have a bit of budget but your writing still stays small. The set was really impressive compared to previous titles by the dev, but the events propel themselves forward seemingly regardless of your own decisions.
I've only played it once. Maybe it's much more expansive than it appears, but when most of my decisions result in something out of my control steering the direction of the narrative, something tells me a repeat playthrough isn't going to be as exciting as some of the dev's other games.

I Died of Cringe
This was something... It started off pretty interesting but it quickly became ridiculous. All the characters were making way too stupid decisions. The fun part was playing this on a discord call with some friends and laughing at the stupidity.
On the positive side, the sets looked interesting and alive (minus the obvious green screen is some scenes). The acting was alright, nothing awful but no memorable performances.
