On the visual side of things - the game is absolutely gorgeous. You have the feling of being in this dark, soacked place, where everything is out to get you. I love it. However - when it comes to gameplay - the game is simply ridiqulous. Managing your gord is duffiqult, when your subjects are fighting every moster they come across, instead of just running away. Oh and - when you issue a command to a subject to go somewhere, he will most deffinetly fight anything that stands in their path. Now that's dedication. And a dead worker. You have to remember to always coubleclick to make them panic-run, so they don't fight things on their way. Most often than not - you have to babysit every single one of your subjects - managing their health, sanity and work. What an absolute drag. This isn't fun. It's a chore. EThe gameplay overall feels sluggish and overcomplicated. The developers were trying to reinvent the wheel, instead of going for simplicity and functionality. These, and more reasons are why I give one star rating. I would give zero, but the visuals, art-style and voice-acting are next level. What a damn waste!
No matter how many times I play it, it's always like the first time when I was 14. The athmosphere is a pure dark joy. Thank you, GOG for preserving it!
This game is an absolute classic as it comes to horror games. The music, the gameplay the jump-scares - everything is on a whole new level.
