Her only contact with the outside world is via one of the first mobile phones, which keeps her in touch with Irving, a FEMA agent tasked with helping her through the transaction. As the new owner, Nicole travels to the hotel to inspect it, with a view to selling, only to get trapped alone there due to a pretty nasty snowstorm. Not because her upbringing was hard or painful, far from it, but more so the tragic events that resulted in her abrupt departure ten years ago: the suicide of Rachel Foster. It is a place of childhood memories for Nicole, that she’d rather forget. The death of her mother sees her become the owner of the family hotel, The Timberline, high up in the mountains.
Set in the early 90s, the protagonist of this tale is Nicole, a young woman who has lost both of her parents. Remember, you don’t have to go through things alone. It’s a message I would echo as well before we continue, given the serious nature of the plot. Every time you begin a new session, there’s advice to seek help and reach out to others for support if you are struggling. It’s clear from the outset, there is a respect here for the topic at hand, and how the raw story they wish to tell could affect people. The Suicide of Rachel Foster is fairly blunt as titles go, though the approach by One O One Games is anything but. As long as the appropriate steps are taken to respect the subject matter and those who may be affected by it. I’m a firm believer that any subject matter can be covered in the medium of video games.
