a decent by the rules adventure game
With some rather nice art, decent puzzles and some excellent sound effects, scrathes succeds in building up a decent atmosphere of suspicion and dread, even when it isnt particulary scary. a decent budget title for adventure gamers.
It isnt very long an adventure, but its surprisngly jsut how spooky and immersive some settings can be. Also, its interesting you can play it off live cd style, but in the end i found it more or less a cookie cutter adventure game. However, theer are hardly even those in a market devoted almost exclusively to sports, fps and driving games. Its not indigo prophecy, but its not one of the "atlantis" game disasters either.
