Why buy on GOG.COM?

I remember I couldn't go on with the water monster for sometime because of the stress and fear combination. It is really scary not some make believe mumbo-jumbo :)
Possibly one of the scariest games I ever played. I was initially disappointed with the puzzles compared to the Penumbra series. However, the atmosphere and story was incredible. The end was a little anti-climactic, especially with all the buil-up in the final act. (That could be because of my own distractions and pauses in gameplay during the final scenes)
I didn't enjoy that much the main story of the game, but the custom stories make up for it.
Buy the game for the Custom stories. They are amazing, and there's tons of them.
