    This game rocks from the opening tutorial to the final credits. Visually, it's more stunning than nearly anything that released last year and the spooky sounds and kickin' soundtrack are second to none.

    While there's something to be said for giving value for money, I'd have preferred a more tightly paced story; a good handful of levels are just making up the numbers, and Shade would have been so much better for a bit of trim.

    Its generic plot and presentation are so bland, the game's few inventive features are very likely to be lost on most who play it. [Holiday 2004, p.94]

    Very nice game. You cant really say this is bad, I agree. Everything is smashing, graphics, puzzles, sound fx, music and even the voices that are usually a big laugh in mior games - the guy's voice is much better than Max Payne's. Really good for a small publisher and if it's not from a big one it doesnt mean its crap! … Expand

    Although not as dreadful as the professional reviews say, it isn't nearly as good as my fellow posters are claiming (don't let game developers rate their own products). It's disappointing and tends to be boring. The combat system is very crappy. The enemy AI is silly (Are you injured? Just walk out that door! Enemies don't leave rooms, they just run around inside while you shoot them from the doorway). Has some pretty environments, pretty simple puzzles, very, very little tension and _no scares_. For a game that advertises itself as an adventure horror, it's not. Oh, and the voice acting is crappy, the plot is obvious, and the character is compelled to narrate the obvious. "This is a SECRET ROOM." This game has allowed me to more easily moderate my computer use.… Expand

    Dreadfull voice acting, horrible story, meaningless & frustrating gameplay most of the time with key-hunt after key-hunt, a bad bad game. Nice music though, graphics above par.… Expand
