Stephen King and David Lynch had a baby
There are countless bad adaptations including of Stephen King's works. I think it's much more likely that we get strong end results out of this approach, where they attempt to recreate the atmosphere, and not do a direct adaptation of any individual piece of work. This could easily have just settled for references to King and Lynch(there are a number of those, but it isn't limited to that) or surface level stuff, but it dives deep. The game has a killer hook; you really badly want to get to the bottom of the mystery that it presents at the start. And while I won't give away any details I will confirm that I was completely satisfied by the end of it. If you find yourself losing interest in the third level, I urge you to give it until you reach the fourth, where it becomes incredibly interesting again, and remains that way for the rest of it. The gameplay itself is engaging. Essentially it's a third person shooter similar to the first two Max Payne games by the same developer, but without the bullet time and diving, and with a smaller and more limited weapon loadout. In addition to the straightforward point and shoot, you first have to remove the possession from your targets. Sometimes certain things you literally only have to remove the possession. You do this by pointing a flashlight directly at them, and it works especially well if you “focus it” on them(taking time). This slows down (or even stuns, for some) enemies, which leads to you juggling enemies; pointing the light at one, then another, then another, to make sure none of them are able to get close enough to attack. Much like the Max Payne games, this features several incredible standout areas of certain levels, where you're able to do something that makes sense considering what the game has set up. And on one hand you kind of wish the entire game was like that. But on the other you realize it would not sustain an entire game. The atmosphere is amazing. It truly does feel like you're in small town America.
