   The graphics where amazing,so detailed,the pictures melting,the classic jump scares but twisted and waiting just the right moment.
   when i got the finished game i went straight on playing it to the end,some parts of it where mind blowing!with effects ,immersion,darkness and the heavy environment!
   
   Games like this,there are many but only some became masterpieces!
   
   i slash a 10/10
   (for greatness)
   (if the devs are seeing this...im waiting for the new game,surprise me)… Expand

   Great graphics and artistic style allows for a very somber classic feeling of a mansion of undetermined size and layout. The sound is somewhatGreat graphics and artistic style allows for a very somber classic feeling of a mansion of undetermined size and layout. The sound is somewhat more generic but good enough. The story is told via narration as well as loose notes that are scattered similar to ... which is also similar in terms of exploration of scenery.
   
   While the game at first appears to allow quite a lot of freedom (in the first few minutes) - it puts the player on very strict rails very soon - offering only very small portions to be explored in strict order.
   
   Puzzles are there but do not exceed novice level (like a combination that will be visible when you turn around or similar)
   
   While the ambient lightning, the decor and style suggests rather subtle suspense and the notes rather suggest subtle and incremental buildup of tension ... the actual "scare" effects are a fairly big let down - for they mainly consist of rather cheap jump scares of the most generic type. That gets to a point where one can almost reliably predict the next scare.
   
   All the while the game still looks fabulous and feels like a very finished product.
   
   The game is good enough and well worth playing ... but for me - it certainly is not one of the top adventure games (or whatever category that kind of game is)
   
   ps.: oh, and i really, really HATE that kind of savegame system on PC. (similar to Ethan Carter before it was patched) - the save points are too far apart - resulting in sometimes rather larger portions of the game to be replayed (which kind of kills it for scripted jump scares).
   
   I really wished for either auto-save upon exiting the game (ironman-like) or custom saves. - eventually it might be patched though... .… Expand

   Three or four hours wandering around the house, opening every possible drawer, door, reading notes, admiring the paintings and the collection of the grains of what had happened in this house and with whom. I want to highlight that the developers have not just released a simulator of a tramp in the dark in the scary house which is very much we have already played, there's a good soundtrack, not a bad atmosphere, a suitable design models, it is not a stupid slasher film, some not horror at all, since there is no dumb of the game, the only thing that will be bad, so this pattern which will be always next to music (on headphones a pleasure to pass). The game is designed not for one pass, there are several endings that you do during the game their actions will earn. I was pleased to play this game, although I am not a fan of this genres of games, but again, the developers really tried.

   Три - четыре часа блуждания по дому, открывания всех возможных ящиков, дверей, чтение записок, любование картинами и собрания по крупинкам, что же произошло в этом доме и с кем. Хочется выделить, что разработчики не просто выпустили симулятор бродяги в темноте по страшному дому, каких очень много мы уже успели поиграть, здесь есть хороший саундтрек, не плохая атмосфера, подходящий дизайн моделей, это не тупой ужастик, для некоторых не хоррор вовсе, так как здесь нет дурацких скримеров, единственное от чего будет не по себе, так эта картины которые будут всегда рядом и музыкальное сопровождение (в наушниках отдельное удовольствие проходить). Игра рассчитана далеко не на одно прохождение, в ней несколько концовок, которые вы сами по ходу игры своими действиями заработаете. Мне было приятно сыграть в эту игру, хоть я и не поклонник данного жанры игр, но повторюсь, разработчики действительно постарались.… Expand

   The graphics are rather nice, they've clearly put quite a bit of effort in to the special effects, lighting and making the game look authentic, sound and voice acting is fairly well done as well.
   Unfortunately gameplay is what really matters and this game just doesn't have it.… Expand
