Hillside GAME
Hillside puts you in the shoes of a professional bodyguard tasked with protecting Emma, an 18-year-old girl being stalked by some creep sending threatening letters. Sounds straightforward enough, except her mom Charlotte happens to be a famous supermodel, and you’re moving into their fancy house in the film district.
The twist here is that doing your job professionally becomes way harder when you’re living with one of the world’s most beautiful women. The game revolves around whether you can keep it together and maintain your reputation while dealing with the temptation. DarkBlue has crafted something that mixes tension from the stalker plot with the personal drama of living in this high-end world.
The setup is solid and the characters feel real rather than just cardboard cutouts. If you’re into games where your choices actually affect how things play out, this one delivers on that front.
