great atmosphere
[review based on original CD version] One of the rare horror games that succeeds at creating chills and suspense without relying on sudden shocks. Attacks and hauntings can appear without warning, but the game's main appeal is the carefully crafted visuals and sounds you experience as you explore. There's a real sense of place and time; you will feel you are in a time-worn supernatural mansion, not a generic series of corridors. Gameplay is challenging. Weapons are powerful but unwieldy, and attacks can stagger you. There's rarely a sense that you are in command of your surroundings, which suits the survival horror theme perfectly. There are also many hidden easter eggs, including Bat Galaga and an unusual sheep. It's worth the extra effort to track down a list. Undying was criticized for bogging down in the second act and rushing the ending. Although I didn't make it all the way through, I felt the middle slipped from the tighter pacing of the beginning. But the beginning is so well done, the rest of the game is unlikely to leave you feeling like you wasted your time and money. Easily one of GOG's best shooters.
