Ran out of breath halfway through
Do you know that feeling, when you finish a game and you wish you could unsee what you’ve seen to experience the whole thing again? Well, I definitely didn’t feel like that after finishing this. This is going to be an unpopular opinion but sometimes you got to have one of those. Not that it is not worth buying, it is an enjoyable game, but perhaps a bit overrated. I’m not a fan of horror games, but I don’t have a problem with them either. Usually, it is not a factor for me. I’m okay with my heart occasionally skipping a beat when something jumps at me from the dark. So, I started playing in normal mode. But the devs mixed sneaking and running with puzzle solving. So, when you are on a level, and you need to figure out how to get through, you cannot just simply discover stuff. Nope. You have to sneak around, avoid stuff, run like hell, and a simple puzzle that would take 2 minutes to solve takes half an our instead, which is really frustrating after some time. And of course, you cannot change this setting halfway through. So, I only recommend the normal mode to the most deviant horror game fans, who don’t care about the story nor the puzzles, just want to sneak around dark corners with a heart rate of 150 bpm. It is difficult to talk about the story without spoilers while making sense. The plot is great with huge twists, unexpected revelations and OMG moments, but unfortunately it burns through its fuel by half of the game, and operates on thrusters from that point on. By that time you have a good picture of what’s going on and you have a good idea of what is going to happen. But you try to believe that it is going to be different, you would see more twists and cliffhangers, but you won’t. What’s more, in the end the game literally tells you that you were a fool if you thought otherwise. All in all, it’s a good sci-fi/horror graphic novel with only a mildly bitter aftertaste, but no feeling of emptiness afterwards. Which could be considered as a good thing.
