Doesn't work for me in Windows 11

Why 1 star? In Win 11 this game gives me a black screen and a spinning blue circle and no amount of reinstalling fixes it. It freezes up so hard I can't even break out with Ctrl+Alt+Delete, even though I have that set to be on top of other applications. The only recourse I have is to forceably power down the machine. I recommend avoiding until this is fixed. I will keep trying and update my review if things change. Game Rating (3.5 Stars): Unlike a lot of the other ratings, I actually think this was a decent game for the time. Live-action cutscenes, graphics made from a combination of photos and art, pushed content limits, the music is decent, sound effects are alright, the storyline isn't bad for the time, and the acting is no worse than its contemporaries. While easier than most of the period, it does have the "Sierra adventure" signature of confusing you on how to progress and easy deaths (at a certain point), but hey, that's how most of the advenutre games from long ago were - less-than-forgiving. If you are a fan of horror and like old (1980's - 1990's) adventure games from the likes of Sierra and LucasArts, then I would recommend this game. No, it isn't a 100+ hour adventure like modern games are, but it's an alright game and falls somewhere between an adventure game and a visual novel in terms of interactivity.

I'm traumatized...but that's OK

This is a must play for all those who enjoy FMVs and point and clickies. Beware of the cringe, the gore and the not so funny scenes. I love this game. Play it!
