The writing is passable, and although a few sections of dialogue feel natural, the script is loaded with weird bits of phrasing that made me wonder if English was the writer's first language, and some absolute clangers like a line about "a dark angel walking through the river of blood". The voice acting is a mixed bag - the main character is meant to be depressed, but just about every line is delivered in a tone of utter boredom. In terms of gameplay, it's clunky, with an awful lot of backtracking, some very hackneyed puzzles, and several instances of the bad old days of adventure games where you rubbed everything on everything else. The 'mature' themes that it attempts to portray just come off as somewhat embarassing, a trying-too-hard effort to be dark and edgy by dropping f-bombs and gore. While I certainly commend the idea of a game dealing with depression and suicide, the supernatural elements detract from it, and the whole story arc of "go kill these bad dudes and it'll all be better!" is pretty silly. The soundtrack is pretty decent, although very obviously inspired by the work of Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails. It's a shame that there's so little else to recommend about the game.
