If you really love Clive Barker and the kinds of ideas he comes up with the kind of stuff you see in Hellraiser Candyman Dread and such there's definitely some great stuff for you here. For me that just wasn't quite enough. There are parts of this where it's unmistakable that Clive Barker is an author first and foremost. Some of the world building I'm sure would have been deeply compelling if I was reading it but for a video game it just bogged down what should have been a more straightforward experience. This also has quite a monster closet problem. It helps you appreciate how important pacing is for enemy encounters. Way too often in this game you go to a place a ton of enemies come out and all attack. It's not paced anywhere near as well as other first person shooters from around the same time like for example the second Alien Versus Predator game. I do think that the core concept which explains the title of the family that is Undying is a very clever idea. I just wish the game around it was significantly better. Some of the level design kind of felt like we were getting multiple separate games combined into one. They're just a bit too distinct from each other to completely feel like they exist in the same world. There's also some times where puzzle solutions feel overly confusing a non-zero amount of times in this I actually stumbled ass backwards into a solution after pretty much giving up even being able to solve it and it just is nowhere near as satisfying. I do think that some of the locations and enemy types are deeply compelling as well as some of the weapons and I'm always glad when I find a horror game that is able to deliver an action component without ending up just not being scary at all. Like, without a doubt this has a number of situations that really get your pulse pounding. There's also at least one area that badly needs to let the player just have a map because you really struggle to find your way. This came out after the first Silent Hill.
