The Good
- Nightmarishly, unrelentingly scary
- incredibly atmospheric graphic and sound design
- puzzles are logical and use physics to great effect
- perfectly paces supplies to be scarce without ever trapping the player
- clever use of light as a limited resource.
The Bad
- Lukewarm climax
- may be too consistently intense for some players
- the backstory becomes more muddled than cleverly ambiguous.
Our Verdict
Excellent
A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks.
Not for the faint of heart, this gothic horror adventure is a relentlessly intense and terrifying experience from start to finish.
