This game falls into a category I call "Spooky" rather than "Horror" -- it's just dripping with that suspenseful, vague sense of foreboding and woe -- but largely avoids "jump scares". What I love most about this game (and its 2 fantastic follow-ups) is the sheer depth of the history and backstory of the family and estate. There's always a weighty sense of layers that go much deeper than the path your single character treads. There are some bugs, and with this first game in particular you're likely to encounter some of the typical pain points of playing an older game. But its worth the effort, especially if you love story & atmosphere.
