Yep, it's creepy, BUT...
I had some issues with this game. Don't get me wrong, the game was fun to play. The visuals and sound effects will truly freak you out. DO NOT PLAY in a dark room with speakers on loud. Some of the areas are simply grotesque and disturbing to look out (scissors, blood, syringes, freaky statues like the Weeping Angels in Doctor Who). HOWEVER, as an avid adventure gamer, I felt the plot of this story made little sense, and the end of the game left much unexplained. Some of the characters and plot elements were not logical. Also, in terms of gameplay, the movement was stilted, and you often had to spend a long time moving from one room to the next. You can only look at certain angles, and it's easy to miss a hotspot if you don't click just the right way. Also, it wasn't always clear what you were supposed to be doing, so the puzzles were not intuitive. Sometimes it was a simple matter of having to move around, and "hit" and area where you would get a message (the next clue). This could be frustrating, as you'd be wandering around without knowing where to go next and why. The characters simply weren't as three-dimensional as a game such as Myst; even so, this game is worth it for the graphics alone. It's the stuff of nightmares.
