i dont know if this is supposed to be scary or what but it kind of just feels like an interesting world to walk around in above all else

Not a bad little game when taking into account the small dev and the fact is quite old at this point. This is chapter 1 and 2 out of 4. I seen a lot of the reviews were critical of the game being too dark and quite clunky. Both valid points. The darkness is a bit excessive but I was able to find my way around with relative ease. Chapter 1 is the worst offender for this. Chapter 2 was certainly creepier and the better of the 2. The story begins to take shape a little here. Puzzles are simple and the voice acting is decent as is the writing. The story seems a bit strange overall so I'm not 100% on board with buying chapters 3 and 4. Will certainly wait for them to go on sale. The movement in the game is quite floaty which is another issue i had. Overall I'd give this maximum 6/10 when taking into consideration how old the title is.

Loved this game, it's one of the best horror games I've played. I'm surprised by the negative reviews, I think they kind of missed the point of the game. This is similar to the movie The Cell, where you enter the mind of a violent criminal and try to piece together information as you navigate their dark mind. It's supposed to be atmospheric, shadowy, and psychological. The game is pretty short, I only did one playthrough and it took me 2 hours to beat. Despite how much I enjoyed it, there isn't a lot of replay-ability. I recommend it for people who enjoy atmospheric and psychological horror. If you are looking for something loud, hectic, and in-your-face then this probably isn't for you.
