This game is life changing, thats all I have to say! I've played this game few years back with my family! Its just an amazing game good graphics incredible story telling! After we finnished the game we all had a big talk about it all night I keep playing it over and over I am never getting bored of it it has a special place in my heart! Frictional games you fellas are unbelievable!

How much I envy those of you who haven’t played this game yet! How much I envy that you don’t know what this game is about, you don’t know the story, the start and the ending! As much as I urge you to play this game and experience it for the first time! A fantastic story with a continuous awe before the unknown and many surprises along the way. Who are you? Where are you? Where are you going? Are YOU going??

Wonderful game and I was very pleasantly surprised that it wasn't another "horror" game where the main gimmick is to run and hide 90% of the game. That gets old and wears on my nerves and personally speaking, I've played enough of those. This does indeed incorporate some "hide and run" moments but they're spaced out well enough, few and far between and due to the rarity of them it made the fear-factor that much more potent to me. To me, the real shining star is the writing and environment. Both the narrative and the atmosphere are totally absorbing and it was clearly not written with a condescending view of their audience. If you're looking for a game with fun mechanics then I should say that this won't bring much entertainment in that way as the gameplay itself is very simple. This is more an interactive experience with puzzle elements and the immersion is what makes the horror work. About 10-15hrs is a good barometer for the time spent depending on the style of play you have, if you like to explore and take your time more or if you're a runner. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a "casual" gameplay experience with a very intelligent and engaging story.

Pros: Great the sci-fi story, setting, and atmosphere. Cons: The game tried a bit too hard at being "from the developpers of Amnesia", but the monsters just aren't scary at all, and the amnesia-esque portions of the game are just boring. The only emotions these monsters will trigger in you are a feeling of overstaying their welcome and overall just being in the way of what is a very enjoyable and immersive sci-fi story.

The story is top notch and had me hooked from the beginning and all the way to the end! The biggest flaw with the game is the lackluster enemies and the general lack of tension and consequenses when dealing with those enemies. Most of the encounters are heavily scripted and it is to easy to avoid the enemies. Other than that the game is a must buy if you are a fan of techno sci-fi horror. PS! The sound design in this game is top notch, so make sure you play it with a proper headset.
