The Occupation is an investigation game that tries to make every second count but is ultimately a missed opportunity.

The Occupation is an investigation game that tries to make every second count but is ultimately a missed opportunity.
Top Critic
An occasionally brilliant immersive sim blighted by bugs and a restrictive save system.
Top Critic
A tense, imaginative thriller that buckles under the weight of its own ambition.
Top Critic
A staggeringly ambitious, gun-free immersive reality detective game set in an alternate 1980s Britain, whose admirable intentions are undermined by technical problems.
Top Critic
If you're willing to push past a large number of technical issues and poor stealth gameplay, there's a fantastic story buried deep in The Occupation's heart
Top Critic
The Occupation is a smart, story-driven stealth adventure, the sort of game that gets under your skin in ways you didn't even realize.
Top Critic
Playing The Occupation is like puzzling over a dense little knot of tangled priorities, information, and pressures. It’s tense to play through, and even more fun to go back and try the process again, armed with information from previous runs.
Top Critic
The Occupation has a premise that is really intriguing in theory. Trying to spy on a powerful entity and taking them to task with your questioning is the kind of experience that can be great in the game, and taking inspiration from current affairs makes it feel much more authentic. It's a shame that various bugs, even when updated to the most recent build, can make the experience feel lacklustre, and at times a frustration to play.
Top Critic
The Occupation is an inventive political thriller that does something new, but is let down by poor AI and some frustrating bugs.
