I played this game almost 10 years ago and it is still obe of the best horror titles arround even after all these years. All its superb story, design, pacing and overall atmosphere has held up quote nicely and it is highly recommended
This game is the perfect example of what videogames can acomplish to become a truly gripping experience. This game was as well developed as any book or movie with excelent use of moody setting and diverse & imaginative gameplay this is truly an unforgettable experience. Besides the tremendous gameplay the main thing that set this game apart for me was the great atmosphere, everything here is just right; the monsters are scary and have their own distinct sound effects that can help you spot them before thay are actually in front of you; I recall many "jump ou of your seat" moments while moving along "cleared" levels only to hear a cry of "Die" or "Kill me" while beign hit from behind with a pipe. The tragic stories of the crewmembers unforld via audiologs that really made them more than another faceless NPC; I remember the chilling audiologs telling the tale of creation the first "nanny" ...and then meeting her afterwards. Over the years modders have made some pretty impresive graphic packs to try to make the game a bit more palatable for modern gamers, but considering its age the gameplay is still as rock solid as ever, plus with the new patch included here it runs great on modern PC. I truly feel this is a must play game for anyone who the slightest bit interested in CRPGs or PC games in general.
