It is surely a game of its time. No tutorials,no hints, no *anything* Overall it is a pretty good game. The story is a solid 8/10. I loved the art style. I overall enjoyed the game. The only bad thing about it is that in many cases you *will not* be able to distinguish the items and interactive objects with the non items/interactive. The only hint is that the cursor will change. This does not sound that bad on...

I recommend playing the game with a lot of patience and and an active motivation of challenging oneself as the game certainly has not been too kind over the years with its janky character movements and FMVs. For me, I view it as a brief respite from the fast-paced gaming experience that we have today. Even so, I was personally accustomed to this game's charm earlier on due to my experiences with playing old LucasArts...

Game breaking bugs. Got to chapter 3 and got stuck in a 'dialogue loop', whereby the character I clicked on to talk with, continued to walk around. This soft locked the game. Had to restart, no auto-save features and so I was back to Chapter 1. The player walks painfully slow and so this was tedious to repeat, but I ventured on. Finished chapter 1 again in spite of annoyance, then Chapter 2 froze, able to hear...

Top thrilling adventure which is set in someone's schizophrenic mind? Is this all even real? What is going here? Who am I?

sucks that i have to give this a thumbs down but continuously holding down the mouse button for movement instead of WASD is unintuitive and hurts, especially with how slow the main character moves so you will be holding it down for A WHILE to finish the game, so if you have wrist issues (like me) you would be better off just watching a playthru of this...

i love love LOOOOOVE this game to death. it's so uncomfortable and creepy, but the lore is immaculate and it sucks you in way easier than you'd think. the slow movement speed of our protagonist is dreadful, however this ultimately adds to the frightful atmosphere. the only thing i have to complain about is the controls. i have wrist issues no thanks to my connective tissue disorder, and let's just say i don't like...
