Well... Although part of me would agree that the ending was a bit clumsy, and that made the whole series uneven, I would still claim that it is solid as hell in what it is trying to accomplish. It's a journey to the deep and dark corners of human mind, irrationally thrilling despite grotesquely primitive graphics. Both the soundtrack and the way the story was put in words created the magnetic feeling of immersing. It was disturbing to play in the dark. It was disturbing to play alone. But it wasn't tasteless, as many horrors seem to be. It was deeply disturbing on the emotional level, not on the level of physical disgust. I truly appreciate the work of authors on piecing the story together, creating characters that we can sympathize with (and worry for, even though we barely know them). It was like reading through an animated book, a child of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. It was beautiful. As to gameplay and genre, I have to say I'm biased as it has been my favourite genre since I was a kid. No complaint here. All in all, it's a very stylish game, with a magnetic atmosphere and compelling story telling. It was the first game that I have ever bought (that said by a Russian, we're notorious for piracy) Let's see what The Game Kitchen is preparing for us this September with "Blasphemous"
