A thousand living deads are less dire to face than a single loving dead.
Emotionally, it's a success. The story strikes straight to your heart. As a game, it is also excellent, although the control system is quite awkward. Camera angles are sometimes infuriating, especially when you fight an opponent you can not see. But it does not really matter. The story and atmosphere make it up for those little flaws.
This story is deeply touching, because beside the fact it happens in a surreal horror world, the core of the tale is tragically real. Love your wife, love your girlfriend the most you can, one day she'll die. A thousand living deads are less dire to face than a single loving dead.
