Cthulhu+Resident Evil and I love it
Devs took a solid, proven format (resident evil) and injected a lot of the Lovecraftian horror elements (hoping for more) that you'd expect. They nailed the 1920's vibe, the troubled character, the voice overs, creepy tech (telephones), magic, madness, mystery...and the setting is just great. Cold, wet, dismal...good stuff. I played it till I had to sleep, was glued to it. Feels like the devs are skirting the mythos, I hope they dig into the meaty stuff and start name dropping great old ones and bring in the necronomicon at some point. Also hoping for some freaky monsters with too many limbs, eyes, mouths and such. The soundscape is fantastic. I kept taking off my headphones because I thought I was hearing one of my cats or people talkin in the hall at 3 am. Witches can swing through walls, but so can your character. That's a simple fix that I'm sure the devs will take care of, early access and all. Someone complained that in early game when all you have is a knife or a hatchet it's super risky to fight the enemies, 2 hits and yer dead. I like that. It's a horror game, not Uncharted. There are plenty ways to sneak past, use a different route or distract enemies. Once you get better weapons, then you can engage. But ya still gotta be carefull. If you like resident evil and you like Lovecraftian horror, you'll enjoy it.
