    OH MY GOD! Wait the games over?

    What a great idea for a game. An intensely suspenseful puzzle game which leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat at all times. There are many points in this game where I found myself screaming like a child and pausing the game to collect myself. The gameplay was flawless, there really was nothing to though. It simply was a point and click game while running with WSAD. The scariest part which was also the most intriguing was the fact that you can't fight the monsters, you can only run and hope to survive. I had an amazing time playing the game but I found myself playing and then, BAM, games over. It ended very abruptly and it honestly only took me maybe 7 hours to beat (with a fair amount of screwing around). I mean for $20 I guess you get your moneys worth. But this only gets 4 stars due to it being so short.

The dark shadow is a persistent t...

      I love when games get me spooked, and this rather dark little game was a near perfect recipe for suspense and jumpiness. It's rare that a title comes along and provides players with such a rich atmosphere to be immersed in. Like the intro states, the game is not to be played to win, its purpose is to give players a dramatic first person survival horror experience. I can honestly say that the game freaked me out a few times, but I'm a sucker for playing games in the dark with the sound cranked!  ...
