A dark horror game that will leave some sleeping with a flashlight by their side...or maybe a glowstick. Short Game.
- Pitch-black horror story with only a flashlight and a glowstick to lead your way. Game certainly wasn't the scariest game I've ever played but was definately creepy. Their really isn't much combat and when their is it can be a bit difficult to kill your enemy. The environment puzzles can really be interesting and challenging but at times it seems like thats all you really do. I did really think it was great how the game had monitor and gameplay instructions at the beginning. The gameplay style really reminded me of Silent Hill, just with out all the combat and now in first person.
Environment & Immersion: 7/10
- The whole environment is like one big maze, your in an old mineshaft and bunker that has long been abandoned. Environment is truely repetitive in the sense that every room, with a few exceptions, contains pretty much the same items and details. With in the first few hours the game is very addicting and quite creepy, after getting used to your enemy the scariness somewhat fades away.
Graphics/Physics: 6.5/10
- Lighting is great but darkness is a blur. Theres really not a whole lot to look at and enjoy being its so dark everything looks the same, when their is light you can really tell that the game has great graphics....but this doesn't happen too often enough.
Sound: 8.5/10
- Great sound, it really adds a lot to the creepiness and fear value. Environment and voice sounds are the best out of this category, the voices are creepy and lonely sounding and the environment sounds have a realistic feeling to them.
Bugs, Stability & Performance: 9/10
- No noticeable bugs or slowdown at all. Saving your game was quite an oddball out of any game I played, it really never even notifies you that you saved.
Replay value: 5/10
- This game was truely fun but the way its an episodic story and its short, It will certainly be a long time before I can enjoy playing this one again without remembering everything.
Value for money: 8/10
- For such a different style horror game, and one thats interesting it really is worth the cheap price. Could have been longer though.
Will this game be remembered by old school gamers as a classic after 10 years?:
- Not really since this game is kind of an unknown series but still has a bit of potential.
Who would I recommend to buy the game?:
- People who enjoyed games like Silent Hill or the Condemned series would probably like this as well. Any diehard horror fan.
-----------------------------------------------
Overall: 7.5 - A dark horror game that will leave some sleeping with a flashlight by their side...or maybe a glowstick. Can get a bit repetitive at times but overall is rather fun. Overall I would say some will be at edge with the game but others won't even be phased by the scariness. Can't say this game is really re-playable but still worth playing with its bargain price.
