Just to clarify on the following points, I have not yet beaten the game. Also, I use the word 'yet' loosely, as I'm not sure I have any further desire to play. My issues with this game are many so here are a few: 1. Gameplay: The game is very slow. The beginning forces you to walk around on a beach while your view bobs around and you move at a snails pace. Sadly, the game gets only slightly faster. The game often requires a lot of backtracking and scavenger hunts for items that tend to blend in with the dark environment. These aspects really exacerbate the issue. 2. Atmosphere: This game would probably have decent atmosphere if not for a couple of oddities. The first being the achievements. While I disagree with anyone that claims walking a mile in this game isn't it's own feat (see complaint #1), the developers should probably reevaluate a game that needs to congratulate you for walking. There's also the strange viewpoint. The camera is positioned on the characters head. It makes everything in the world look a bit short. I also haven't discovered any kind of crouch button to alleviate this strange height issue, so trying to position your mouse to click on certain objects can be a chore. 3. Save Games: You get checkpoints in lieu of saves. It's the final punch to the gut when you need to go but haven't finished some cryptic puzzle. Refer back to #1 to see how this is made an even bigger issue.
