I want to warn anyone who considers buying this game, that it simulates the infiltration of high security areas, the rapid murder of heavily armed security police, and the clear assassination of members of the extremely wealthy corporate class. As such, no moral individual should purchase or play this highly objectionable assassination trainer. However it is very fun.
After following a multitude of steps on the disorganized Matrix Games forums, which included both "normal" stuff like reinstalling Directx 9 or editing a config file, and bizarre stuff no one should have to do, such as installing Internet Explorer and a legacy version Windows Media Player, the game ultimately just won't run. Even if it did, I wouldn't count on Internet Explorer working as a fix for much longer. This is just one of those games on the GOG catalog that simply hangs around, doesn't run on a modern OS, and doesn't get enough sales to warrant a fix or removal. It's a zombie entry. Fortunately, GOG's refund system should work and requires no compatibility troubleshooting on my end.
A fun little visit through a short story. The limitations of the format, and not being able to move your head around made me feel straitjacketed. Doesn't waste your time, though. I recommend reading the story on your own first: https://hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/d.aspx
